'Pardon' (watercolour and gold leaf on wooden panel)
This piece of monkish humour is one of a series of miniature (6” x 4”) paintings inspired by the marginalia found in illuminated manuscripts of the medieval era. This one is inspired by an illustration from the Gorleston Psalter (c1310 - 1324), a particularly eccentric manuscript full of bottoms, rudery and medieval weirdness.
This version has been recreated by me, with liberties and embellishments, using watercolour and 23.75 carat embellished gold, mounted onto a wooden panel and varnished. The painting is framed and ready to hang in a beautiful 24cm x 19cm (9½ x 7½”) wooden frame.
The listed price includes free UK shipping. I am very happy to ship worldwide upon request. (If you live outside the UK, please contact me to discuss the postage options for your country.)
