Sonnet 116 (detail)
21" x 16"
Calligraphy lettered with gouache & steel pens, embellished with pointed
brush
Commissioned by a client as an anniversary gift for her husband, this poem was calligraphed in indigo blue gouache (though it appears black here, the calligraphy is actually blue). The swirling, flourished decoration is painted with shades of burgundy and green, echoing the flow of the calligraphy.
