This piece by English artist Peter Nixon (born 1956) is a hand-embellished giclee on canvas featuring a female figure in a style that blends classical romanticism with contemporary "sketch" techniques. It measures 25 inches high by 20 inches wide and is presented in an ornate gold-tone frame.
- Subject Matter: The central figure is a gracefully posed woman with flowing reddish hair, accompanied by a peacock—a bird often associated with Hera (Juno) in mythology—and a classical lyre, symbolizing music and the arts.
- Technique: The work showcases Nixon's "ornate style," which uses transparent layers and gold leaf accents to create a luminous, ethereal quality reminiscent of Venetian Renaissance masters like Titian and Bellini.
- Theme: Typical of Nixon’s "Muse" or "Horae" series, this painting emphasizes themes of joy, harmony, and elegance, blending mythological symbolism with a vibrant, modern energy.
- H:25in L:20in
