A tender but uniquely dynamic masterpiece by the famed Alexandrian artist; like a microcosm, albeit one that encapsulates all the virtues that assemble his so attractive artistic language. In a simple and unassuming way he comfortably manages to impart a uniquely otherworldly magic. In their perfect simplicity the forms hover in a spiritually poetic atmosphere imbued with a peculiar air of elegance and lyricism. This lends a spirituality to this beautiful painting enriching it as a whole with dynamic curves and simple, uncluttered, stylized yet tender elements.
