Tired Maid: varnished, mounted, framed - 12x18 image, 17x23 overall
This image is my conscious homage to Vermeer.
“Knotting a Persian Rug” link had been praised many times as reminding viewers of Vermeer, a compliment that sent me into Vermeer’s life and body of work in order to better understand what people were saying.
In this Florentine Palazzo in the Santo Spirito district, the pensione Sorelle Bandine, I recognized the characteristic light from a window and sturdy armadio and table that might be found in the 17th century and in one of Vermeer’s interiors.
I asked the cleaning lady of the pensione to pose for me, interrupting her work; I don’t usually ask people to pose. She took the opportunity to rest, even close her eyes.
I salute Vermeer.
12x18 inch pigment ink print on rag paper, varnished, mounted on canvas and framed in a 2.5 inch custom gold florentine frame.
This frame is beautiful. It is a custom made, hand rubbed wooden frame covered in gold (not real gold) paint.
