Original artwork description:

Inspired by a fountain mascaron in Paris, France, this original painting captures the essence of these iconic architectural ornaments. Mascarons, often found adorning windows, fountains, and archways, are more than just decorations. These intriguing masks were believed to ward off malevolent spirits, embodying the character and spirit of the structure they adorn.

This piece employs oil and color on canvas, with bold dark red lines that bring the triton's head to life against a soothing cream backdrop. The artist has skillfully accentuated somewhat unsettling nature of the subject. The painted edges offer a clean, contemporary look, making it ready to hang and enjoy immediately.

The artwork's modern, folk art style and manageable size make it a versatile addition to any space. Signed on the front, dated and named on the back, and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, this unique piece is a true collector's item.
