Beautiful oil on canvas. This large tondo is framed by a large mecca gilded frame bringing its dimensions to 96 by 96 cm. Mecca gilding is an Italian technique consisting of applying silver leaf and not gold, subsequently covered with a golden varnish called mecca. It is this typical Italian process that makes it possible to obtain this pale gilding with silver highlights.
