this is a paining in acrylic on paper, a style that is flat colours and shapes, with little shading, with artistic inspiration from both ancient Egypt, in the pose, to china in the choice of colour and shapes in the background, contrasted with the modern handling of the very blond subject. the predominant colour is the red background, though other warm rich earth tones are in evidence, from her skin tones to the blond of her hair, and to the rusty mottling of the canvas on which the paper is mounted. the presentation of paper on canvas is an unusual one, which gives the piece a distinctive look, and the impression of both a framed piece and an unframed canvas at once. the edges of the canvas are finished so framing is optional, and the piece is wired to hang. the painting would suit many décor styles and colour schemes, with the warm earthy tones and a painting style and presentation that could fit from traditional to modern and anywhere in between. this piece measures 11x14" SOLD
