This is an egg tempera painting (Artfinder does not provide a category for this medium). All my egg temperas are painted on accurately prepared and sealed panels with a ground of 7-12 layers of highly absorbent marble dust gesso instead of chalk. The finished paintings are protected first with a polishing, a coating of Renaissance Wax (developed by the British Museum) and polished to produce the beautiful soft egg tempera finish. All gold leaf is shellacked to protect against pollution and humidity. It is also painted on a cradled panel with a depth of about 1.5 inches. No frame is necessary.
Similar to my other paintings of foods, this one highlights the beauty of onion skins. The lace background is painted with silver rutile that accentuates the pearl-like quality of the onion skins.
