Mongols

Creator: Robert Riggs
Offered by: Robert Funk Fine Art

Description
Tempera mixed with gum arabic and alcohol on Renaissance Panel
There is from frame burn and scattered surface abrasions but they are minor. Additionally, there are a 3 or 4 very fine hair line scratches not visible unless you look very closely. The work is varnished and has a reflective quality to it that makes it hard to photograph. In person the viewing experience is much better. You can see more detail in the shadow areas. The colors are rich, deep and saturated. Riggs was very particular in researching the tribal costumes and getting the ethnic facial looks right. Work is unframed. Philip Desind Freeman's Auctions
