Description from the seller
EXCEPTIONALLY WITHOUT RESERVE!
A fascinating contemporary painting depicting the famous bust of the Pharaoh Tutankhamun reinterpreted in a modern key through a refined, textural and abstract composition.
The work blends the allure of ancient Egypt with a contemporary painting language, creating a balance between history, archaeology, and modern art.
The figure of the pharaoh emerges from a play of glazes, color overlays and textures that give great depth and movement to the composition.
The palette, characterized by warm ochre, gold, Siena earth, red and cream tones, recalls the colors of the desert and of ancient civilizations, giving the work a strong decorative and emotional impact.
The modern and refined style makes this painting ideal for contemporary interiors, professional offices, galleries, private collections, or settings with a refined taste.
The frame elegantly enhances the work and is included as a decorative element.
Please note that, given the age of the piece, there may be small defects, cracks or losses: natural signs of time that attest to its authenticity and history.
The photographs were taken under direct spotlight to highlight the details.
The frame is considered a courtesy and does not constitute part of the lot: any damage to the frame will not be refunded.
The work will be accompanied by a guarantee certificate issued by The Auction Master.
Our shipments are fast and professional with protective packaging; for shipments outside Europe (Schengen area) costs are higher and issues may arise; shipping outside Schengen only with private agreements at the buyer's expense.
