Held In Black 2 (2025) Original Oil Painting by Lorna Mousley

80 x 80 x 2cm (unframed) / 80 x 80cm (actual image size)

£950

Held in Black 2 continues my exploration of figures emerging from darkness. I wanted this portrait to feel both strong and vulnerable, with the crown and luminous details suggesting quiet power rather than grandeur.

Layers of oil paint and texture have been built up across the dress and surrounding areas, creating a surface that changes as the light moves across it. These textured elements add depth and character, while the soft treatment of the face creates a contrast between delicacy and strength.

Original oil painting on canvas with textured details, ready to hang.
