About this work
A hybrid creature with a woman's pale face and a folded, triangular hood sits with a lion's textured body and a pair of carved, wing-like forms rising from its shoulders. One clawed forepaw rests on a small round ball, while the tail curls into an ornamental scroll behind the haunches.
The figure is rendered in cream, ochre, and gold impasto against a flat, saturated red field, its surfaces built up with thick, scraped texture that contrasts with the smoother, pale modeling of the face. The stark color and calm, direct gaze give the mythological subject a still, enigmatic presence.
