About this work

This painting shows two large, stylized bird wings with bright feathers in golds, oranges, and blues. The feathers are detailed with small lines and dots, giving them a textured look. Above the wings is a faded yellow band with some letters and a red dot. The wings are painted on a rough, beige background that looks like old plaster. The artist signed it in the corner with a small note. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
