About this work
A torn-edged Fayum-style portrait of a laurel-crowned young man is propped inside a rustic wooden niche, flanked by a smoking oil lamp on a stand, an hourglass, a corked earthenware flask, and a magnifying glass on a red cord reflecting a distant pier; spiral seashells, a black bead, a pinned note and a dated paper tag complete the arrangement on the wooden ledge.
Muted ochres, grays and warm wood tones are softly lit to bring out the textures of stone, paper, glass and shell in meticulous, glossy brushwork; the quiet gathering of timepiece, smoke and aged portrait reads as a hushed meditation on memory and time.
