Description

This masterful composition by Paul Weber is rendered with exquisite attention to detail and a rich array of hues. It’s sublime, every inch a success, and clearly the work of an experienced Academy artist.

The skill here begins with the underdrawing, which is carefully crafted and based on years of experience. It takes patience to observe a set of objects so carefully. And atop the drawing, the watercolours are laid down with exquisite skill to create a harmonious image, rich with vibrancy.

The ornate splendour of this decorative ensemble has been immortalised by a master of his craft.
