A nobleman in formal dark attire and white cravat stares directly outward against a starry black background, his composed classical portrait disrupted by bright cyan brushstrokes and splatters that scatter across his face, shoulders, and the surrounding space. The painterly intervention transforms a dignified historical figure into something contemporary and unsettled, merging restraint with explosive gesture. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
