Oil on canvas, stretched and ready to hang.
Signed on the front.
âFirst Genieâ is from the âFragmentsâ series, painted vignettes of visits to other places. I was drawn to the Assyrian relief sculpture in the Louvre, particularly the winged genii. Unlike the fairytale âthree wishesâ sort of genie, these genii are guardians or protectors but do possess supernatural powers.
I, of course, found the beards irresistible.
This painting is ready to hang.
