Original artwork description:

The picture size is 33 x 44.5 cm. I painted this beautiful girl on a pastelmat with pastel pencils and soft pastels...The Mosul Girl (Mona Lisa of Mosul) is a photograph which was shot by the Iraqi war photographer Ali Fahdawi...The girl and her family were running away from Islamic State group forces, walking 40 km. over two days in bad weather on muddy roads. "When the photographer pointed the camera towards her, her face displayed two mixed emotions of sadness and fear still imbued of IS and the bombing and smile to watch the first camera aimed toward her". I am grateful to Mr. Ali Fahdawi for his permission to paint and publish my painting.
This painting is also fixed on a cardboard and has interior mat frame. Fixing it in a frame with mat glass will be fine..
You can commission human or pet portraits to me.. Thank you.
