About this work
An elderly, white-haired man wrapped in a heavy, gold-embroidered fur robe stands centrally in a rustic setting of wattle fences and an overhanging oak, his coat opened like a shelter. A winged figure in a white shirt and dark red mantle, eyes closed, head resting against the old man's chest, holds a wooden staff; an empty bird's nest lies on the ground between their feet as a few dry leaves drift down.
Deep umber and bottle-green shadows surround pools of warm gold and ochre light on the robe and the sleeping figure's pale skin, painted with a smooth, almost lacquered finish and fine textural detail in the brocade. The hushed, twilight color scheme and the motionless embrace give the scene a quiet, protective sadness.
