Description
A solitary winged figure plummets through a turbulent sky rendered in deep grays and blacks, limbs outstretched in a gesture of despair or surrender. Doré's masterful engraving technique creates dramatic contrasts between shadow and light, with swirling clouds and distant stars emphasizing the vast, indifferent cosmos surrounding the descending form. Crafted from bamboo and made to order, with a drilled hole so it hangs on the wall as easily as it works on the counter. A kitchen essential carrying an independent artist's work, not a blank block from the big-box aisle.
