Rendered in expressive strokes of muted grays, ochres, and charcoals, this mixed media painting captures two male figures positioned against neoclassical architectural forms. One figure, closer and fully front-facing, meets the viewer's gaze with a poised intensity, while the second figure, partially turned, recedes into a loosely defined background that suggests both column and horizon. The work balances classical influence with a raw, emotive treatment of the male form. Dedication on verso, to Matthew and Charlie.

“There’s a haunting beauty here — this piece would bring quiet drama to a minimal or classically styled interior.”

England, circa 1980
