Work on Paper by Mark Westervelt: Messenger

Skull-faced figure in a small hat wears a rust-red cloak and stands at ease.

This work on paper is by Mark Westervelt, and is ca. 2012. It is paint on paper. His paint skins are made by painting on plastic and peeling the sheet off, so the side against the plastic is glossy and the side exposed to air is matte. Plainly, a tiny figure with a pale, dotted face and a flat hat stands on short legs, its cloak patched in rust, cream and silver. It is 6 inches wide and 7 high.

Mostly cloak, partly hat, entirely self-possessed.
