Original artwork description:

This work has two closely related sources: it is inspired by Antoine Watteau's treatment of the ancient myth of Arcadia, a land in which humans were thought to live in leisurely harmony with nature, and by Igor Stravinsky's neo-classical ballet pulcinella. The drawing tries to combine elements of both these worlds, while locating their nostalgic and romantic sensibility in an archaic landscape that also suggests enigma .

Materials used:

Pen and Indian ink
