Note:

The selection of stone and the extraordinary detail in this work is indicative of a highly skilled artist and create the illusion that the viewer is looking at an oil on canvas. The ‘texture’ of the fabrics, skin and wallpaper is startling and the subject is seated before a ‘painting’ of elaborately treed landscape.
