Hi,<br>
<br>
Thanks. It is oil on canvas and the size - well the picture is bigger! So its small - 12.5 x 18 cm or 4 3/4 x 7 inches. The portrait its based on is damaged - half the head is missing. We don't know if the damage was part of a damnatio memoriae or occurred later. That is probably what gives it a surrealist appearance.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
