Available as an original 5″ x 7″ (11″x13″ framed) painting ($2200) or as a limited edition, numbered and signed, 5″x7″, archival print ($65). The original is painted and illuminated (gilded) in watercolor, ink, gouache, and 23k gold leaf on real animal vellum.

The limited edition, numbered, archival (giclee) print has been painstakingly photographed to capture the brilliance of the colors and metallics as a print of superior longevity on cotton rag paper.
