SALE - Golden Age, Silver Screen - Original ACEO Illustration

Description

SALE: this item has been reduced in price by $2.00!

Inspired by footage in vintage films from the Golden Age of Egyptian cinema, this little piece of art will be sure to delight appreciators of classic Raqs Sharqi. I was drawn to create a small homage to the elegant ladies of the silver screen after viewing some clips of such notable bellydancers as Tahiya Karioka, Samia Gamal, and Naima Akef. The particular dancer depicted here has just made her entrance accompanied by a swirling veil. Her smile is contagious.

This image is nearly monochromatic in shades of soft, warm greys, sparkles of antique white, and black linework overlaid on toned paper, evoking the look of an aged black & white movie.

ACEO is an acronym standing for Art Cards, Editions & Originals. They are miniature pieces of art measuring 2.5 by 3.5 inches, the same dimensions as a baseball card, and are a great format for collecting.

This piece is signed and dated on the reverse by the artist and will arrive in a clear protective sleeve for display and protective purposes. The copyright notice does not appear on the original piece, but the artist does retain all rights to the image even after purchase.
