About this work
A young man in a white shirt and dark waistcoat is strapped to a wooden, kite-like frame with two wing-shaped panels, his body angled diagonally as he flies. Red fabric wraps around his legs, and bare feet extend past the frame. Below, a patchwork landscape recedes into the distance with wooden houses, a blue-domed church, fenced fields and a horse-drawn cart on a dirt track.
The composition is tilted on a strong diagonal, painted in a smooth, realist technique with warm ochres in the wings and figure against the cooler greens of the land below. Light falls evenly, sharpening the texture of wood, cloth and skin. The precarious pose and dizzying view below give the image a quiet, suspended tension.
