Original artwork description:

- Four classes -

In one legend, the French suits represent the four classes. Spades represent nobility, hearts stand for the clergy, diamonds represent the vassals or merchants, and clubs are peasants. In the German tradition, bells (which became the French diamonds) were the nobility, and leaves (which became the French clubs) were the merchant middle class.

This painting was painted in multiple layers of oil paint that working together in my finished artwork – thus a richer color effect. Each layer was complemented by texture effects (scratches, pencil lines, pastels, etc.). As a result, the painting looks grungy with different colors and textures.

"Four classes" - Rich textured painting with oil on premium art canvas.
Modern abstract expressive artwork. This is a one of a kind artwork, created and painted by me /Retne/.
The textured and structures create a very interesting and changing look of the artwork. It comes ready to hang with a hook on the back.
