Rhonda Libbey"Tengu"– Original Painting, Japanese Mythical Creature, Oil and Gold Leaf2023
2023
About the Item
Rhonda Libbey’s "Tengu" is an oil and 24 karat gold painting on panel measuring 7 x 5 x 0.12 inches unframed, and 8.25 x 6.25 inches in its elegant gold frame. The work is framed and ready to hang.
In this richly symbolic portrait, a young figure with dark blue hair and feathery wings holds a crimson mask bearing a stylized white leaf motif. The figure’s vivid garment features red panels adorned with golden pom-pom embellishments, and a blue sleeve that draws attention to the hand’s carefully rendered positioning. Behind him glows a luminous background of 24 karat gold leaf, forming a halo-like shape that evokes spiritual reverence and iconographic traditions. A single black feather lies across the chest, deepening the work’s allegorical dimension.
Libbey blends realism and fantasy with remarkable finesse, highlighting intricate details in texture and form while retaining a painterly softness. The mask, suggestive of Japanese Tengu mythology, becomes a metaphor for identity, mystery, and hidden power. This small-format painting captivates with its precision and presence, making it a compelling addition to any serious collection of contemporary figurative art.

Boit Girls in Gold
By Thomas Darsney
Located in Boston, MA
Signed verso.
As Darsney’s work has developed, his compositions and influences have evolved. An auto-didactic artist, Darsney draws inspiration from a variety of sources, including The Boston School and iconic masters such as Vermeer, Rembrandt and Degas. These artists’ attention to detail and adherence to classical ratio, coupled with Darsney’s own innate sense of structural integrity, inform his vision. He is also particularly influenced by the art on view in Boston museums and collections as seen here with his portrayal of The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit...
