Two Rooks and an amphorae. My reproduction of a Roman fresco decorated with two ravens and an amphorae jug found in the villa of the orchard. Based on a surviving fresco in Pompeii, Italy, 1st century AD. 🇮🇹
Pompeian frescoes were executed in the buon fresco (true fresco) technique, in which the pigments were painted onto a freshly applied, damp/wet plaster ground. The plaster contains liquid lime (calcium hydroxide).
Watercolour and gouache on 12x16 cold press paper.
