The composition uses dramatic chiaroscuro to isolate the figure and the ornate vessel, creating an atmosphere of mythological tension and forbidden curiosity tinged with sorrow. 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.
