Black Ram and Ivory Horns with Mahogany Table - Quiet Authority - Ram Edition

The visual

The animal is represented lying down, elongated body, head raised facing the observer. The face features an intense black that is marbled with ivory touches on the muzzle and contours of the eyes. On either side of the head, two acajou horns curl in wide spirals, their streaks drawn with meticulous realism. The body, almost entirely ivory, receives brown shadows that accentuate the volume and mass of the animal. The background, discreet and neutral, leaves all the space to the animal composition. The games of light slide on the horns, creating warm reflections that recall varnished wood. The whole exudes an almost tactile texture, between realistic painting and careful illustration.
