Mirabel Crane · No. 267

The Peacock

The Peacock is Mirabel Crane at her most opulent. A magnificent peacock stands in full display, its long tail unfurling into an intricate fan of ornate eye-feathers drawn in teal, green and gold, each one a small jewel of swirling linework. Crane frames the bird with symmetrical damask flourishes and a radiant sun medallion, all on a smooth jewel-toned gradient. True to her Filigree Vectorism, every form is both decorative and crisply flat, the ornament never overwhelming the elegant silhouette. Regal, luxurious and beautifully balanced, it channels the peacock's age-old symbolism of beauty and renewal into a sumptuous art-nouveau panel.

An original oil painting on canvas by Mirabel Crane, painted to order — never a reproduction. Ornate art-nouveau decorative art — a single subject in intricate swirling linework framed by damask flourishes and radiant suns, on soft gradient grounds.
