About Artist:
Local Chicago Artist, originally from Pittsburgh where I received my instruction from Gloria Peterson-Plemons. Mostly self-trained after that.
About Artwork:
This is an oil painting of a 2nd Century Roman copy of an ancient Greek bust of Athena as sketched from life at the Art Institute of Chicago. The calligraphy in the background is an authentic ancient Roman cursive on parchment of the Latin passage which mentions Athena by her Roman name Pallas in Ovid's "Metamorphoses" (The passage is that of Pallas Athena and Arachne). The name "Pallas" is set of in red penmanship in the upper right.
