This limited edition lithograph, numbered 151/1000, features the characteristic romantic and ethereal style of Benji Cartier. The composition depicts two female figures reclining amongst pillows, illuminated by a mystical, radiant glow emanating from a small lamp in the lower right foreground. The work utilizes a soft palette with vibrant yellow highlights and expressive line work typical of Cartier’s mid-to-late 20th-century figurative pieces. The artwork is housed in an ornate, Baroque-style gilded frame with a linen liner and a secondary gold-tone inner fillet.
