Mediums: Oil, Egg Tempera, and 24k Gold and Silver Leaf
This piece uses a combination of oil and egg tempera, paired with the traditional water gilding technique on a surface prepared with hand-mixed gesso comprising rabbit skin glue and chalk. The layers of 24k gold and silver leaf are applied with precision and delicacy, requiring multiple steps of careful drying and burnishing to achieve the reflective metallic finish. The painting’s elements and intricate background design create a harmonious combination of traditional gilding and fine brushwork.
