This artwork is layered with rich texture and earthy metallic tones, creating a weathered, timeworn surface. Emerging from the composition is a classical portrait fragment—a youthful feminine face, calm and contemplative—framed by collage material that carries its own story: text from old books, floral patterns, and hints of gilded designs. Together, they form a kind of halo around the figure, suggesting both fragility and resilience. The work feels like an echo from another time, a quiet remembrance given new life through layered textures and found fragments.
 
A nice compliment to your decor that can be tucked among books, a cabinet with china or other collectibles, on a table top or a mantle piece.
