Original Mixed Media Angel Portrait with Gold Leaf Halo

This original work of art depicts a feminine angelic figure with large, expansive wings and a glowing halo. The piece appears to be created using a mixed media approach on a textured surface, likely heavy paper or illustration board, incorporating colored pencils, graphite, and metallic gold paint or leaf. The central figure is dressed in a flowing, pleated white Grecian-style gown with cold-shoulder sleeves, rendered with fine linear shading to create texture. She has long brown hair and closed eyes, holding small pink blossoms in her hands. The most striking features are the large wings; the left wing is rendered in cool white and grey tones, while the right wing is suffused with warm golden and orange highlights. A distinct, circle-shaped gold halo is positioned behind the head, standing out against a dark, moody background of deep browns and maroons. The background exhibits visible, expressive brushstrokes or hatching that provide a somber contrast to the bright central figure. The craftsmanship shows a high level of detail in the feathering of the wings and the delicate facial features. Condition appears excellent with no visible tears or fading, suggesting a contemporary or modern creation from the late 20th to early 21st century. The artwork lacks a visible signature on the front, indicating possible identification on the verso.
