SOLD
10 x 8 Oil on Archival Board
Even though I'm closing in on finishing the paintings I need for the show in March, I'm going to continue to paint these museum pieces. This has been such a great experience. I have four more to do, and about 50 I still plan to do :-)
The painting here is Jean-Joseph Benjamin Constant's "Favorite of the Emir" painted in 1879 (at the NGA). The woman I saw looking so intently at the painting could almost be placed on that chaise in the harem, listening to the male servant play his tanbur and luxuriating in the mystery of it all. I wonder what she was thinking....
A new favorite!
