What a fascinating piece. I wish I could see it in person. The skin tones are so realistic, but up close are all those subtle shadings using criss-crossing string. Just wonderfully cool.
Reminds me a lot of a Seurat painting—pointillism. The first time I saw a Seurat at a gallery, I was amazed at how the painting looked so different for each few inches the viewer moved forward. Until I got with a few inches (or as close as I could get without the guard growling at me), then the colors stood out individually. So intricate.
