About this work

This painting depicts a serene scene of a man standing beside a sculpture of a woman. The man is dressed in a long coat and a hat, while the woman's sculpture is rendered in white. The setting appears to be a garden or a courtyard, with trees and foliage surrounding the figures. A notable detail in the painting is the use of glue tempera, a technique that adds a unique texture to the artwork. The artist's choice of medium contributes to the overall aesthetic of the piece.
