{"product_id":"a-penny-saved-is-a-penny-gained","title":"A Penny Saved is a Penny Gained","description":"This is a painting in my new series of bringing colour to drawings produced by Flemish artist Karel van Mander.\r\nThe 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.\r\nThree 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.\r\nPerfect for adding a statement piece to living spaces that may create a talking point with visitors.\r\nExecuted 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.\r\nYou will receive a signed certificate of authenticity.\r\nThe painting is 16 x 12 inches in size and is on stretched canvas.\r\nAll art is professionally packaged to ensure it arrives in perfect condition.  My works have been shipped worldwide.\r\nAbout me: \r\nI am a painter, originally starting in oils although I now tend to predominantly paint with acrylics.\r\nI 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.\r\n","brand":"Corinne Hamer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55436603293987,"sku":null,"price":135.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0979\/9401\/5011\/files\/penny_z8t0y_209447518.jpg?v=1786115868","url":"https:\/\/lovely.art\/products\/a-penny-saved-is-a-penny-gained","provider":"Lovely.art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
