Original artwork description:

"Things are not always what they seem; the first appearance deceives many; the intelligence of a few perceives what has been carefully hidden."
This is a quote by Phaedrus (see Plato for reference).

The title of this artwork is rather funny in Danish "Bevar fatningen - brug pæren". Which means keep socket/calm and use bulb/brain, since fatningen and pæren have two meanings each. So I went for a rather shallow punchline of the title in English.

This little gem of a painting will illuminate your study or drawing room and make you smile.

Colors of the picture may slightly vary depending on the individual settings of your monitor. All my paintings are bright and clear.
Certificate of Authenticity is enclosed.

Please note that international orders - outside the EU - may be subject to import taxes, fees, and customs duties calculated by the customs office of the destination country. Customers are responsible for paying any of these charges.

Materials used:

Acrylic, gloss varnish on a quality hand-made Danish canvas, ready to hang since the edge is painted.
