This is a painting in my new series of bringing colour to drawings produced by Flemish artist Karel van Mander. The original drawing from circa 1592 is from a set of 6 proverbs that this artist created that were subsequently engraved. Each proverb serves as a window into human nature, offering profound insights into life’s complexities. Three men in front of a fireplace. A man stands with his hands on his head, the second man prays, whilst the third man sits at the table and shakes his bag as a sign that it is empty. A woman and a boy bite a bone. A dog barks and looks angrily at the bone. Perfect for adding a statement piece to living spaces that may create a talking point with visitors. Executed in excellent quality acrylic paints, painted on all sides, and finished with a glaze of gloss varnish to protect against sunlight and dust. It just needs a nail or wall fitting to sit flush against the wall. You will receive a signed certificate of authenticity. The painting is 16 x 12 inches in size and is on stretched canvas. All art is professionally packaged to ensure it arrives in perfect condition. My works have been shipped worldwide. About me: I am a painter, originally starting in oils although I now tend to predominantly paint with acrylics. I love to paint, love colours, shapes’, and textures. I love the idea that a different story can be read into each of my paintings and each viewer may interpret a story different to another.
