A beautiful piece of art, both the mantle and your painting of it.

It's a composition worked using an antique and intensely brodered towel I brought from England, Bath, in 2028, during a solo exhibition at the Mauger Modern Art. So, I used it as protagonist having as background a large painting. As the towel reaaly is antique i decided to title "As a Mantle of Times", exactly because it crossed several periods of time. It's a large painting —151x102,5 cm. Painted from the natural, inside my studio.
