A client reach out to me on behalf of her mother who wanted pieces created that gave a nod to a 1935 copy of The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyam that she owns. Since she can’t give all four of her daughters the one book, she asked me to create 4 pieces each of a different favorite stanza in a style reminiscent of her copy.
Decorated initial in gouache and 23kt gold leaf.
Lettering in a roman bookhand.
