'Queck!' (watercolour and gold leaf on wooden panel)
This is one of a series of miniature (6” x 4”) paintings inspired by the marginalia found in illuminated manuscripts of the medieval period. This piece was inspired by an illustration in the Gorleston Psalter, a particularly eccentric manuscript created between 1310-1324.
According to the British Library, the poor little “Queck” in this illustration is a touch of monkish graffiti, added to the image in a later hand. The fox is probably Reynard, a common figure in medieval illustration.
This version has been recreated by me, with some liberties and embellishments, using watercolour, casein and 23.75 carat gold, mounted onto a wooden panel and varnished. The painting is framed and ready to hang in a beautiful 24cm x 19cm (9½” x 7½”) wooden frame.
The listed price includes free UK shipping, but I am very happy to ship worldwide upon request. (If you live outside the UK, please contact me to discuss the postage options for your country.)
