Original artwork description:

This painting is both a visual pun and a quietly powerful metaphor. At first glance, the subject seems to belong in a museum of Dutch masters — dignified pose, black dress, ruffled collar, and white cap. But look closer: her sunglasses reflect modern style, and in her hands is a paper bag of popcorn — as if she’s just walked out of a cinema, frozen in time.
That playful contrast makes Popcorn and Purity so unforgettable. The piece is richly painted, balanced in tone, and filled with symbolic detail. It brings a smile, a pause, and a question — all at once.
Collectors love this kind of smart, layered work — where old meets new, and humor hides in the folds of elegance. Whether you’re curating a themed gallery wall or want a showpiece that sparks conversation, this is a work with charm and depth in equal measure.
Created with Dutch acrylic paints Amsterdam on Italian canvas Unico, finished with a satin varnish. The edges are painted. It comes on a pre-stretched canvas mounted on a wooden frame. Piece is securely packaged in a cardboard box with bubble wrap and is signed by the artist, certificated.
