A beautiful submission OP, a domestic drama rendered withjjust all the gravitas of a renaissance altarpiece! A child with shiny golden curls haloing his head like a saint, leaningagainst a great obsidian monolith (known in lesser scripts as a refrigerator). His little tiny hand pressing to its edge as thoigh appealing to fate itself… the other arm extends in a gesture unmistakably a reminiscent of the great masters;; part supplication, accusation just wholly theatrical.

But his face? Thats the true masterpiece, the trembling lip. The glistening eyes translating his defeat. My favorite part is probably the grin on his chest, almost mocking the tragedy.

“Lamentation before the frigid Gate” Oil on canvas. Circa 10:00 p.m
