Description

Here a new copy of a Fayum mummy portrait. It tooks part of a big commission from a great historian.

Made in 120 hours circa, its binder is a wax mixed with 'ammonium carbonate' (good translation?) and diluted with water. The size is 45 x 28 cm and this is a painting on wood with a preparation ground composed of egg yolk.
