This unique and stunning print presents two complementary views of Alberto’s lovely wife, Anna Mae. Painted separately, each portrait was a masterful solo work by Vargas. Arranged into a single limited edition composition, the two images yield a visual harmony of watercolor hues - a symphony of feminine grace and elegance.
Release Notes:
