The success of this trompe l'oeil painting is measured by whether it suceeds in deceiving the observer.  In my painting of this open book I have attempted to capture the book as though it is, in fact, real and open.  I based this picture on pages from a "Book of Hours" commisioned by Jean, Duc de Berry in 1413.  The artists chosen to illuminate the "Tres Riches Heures" were the three Limbourg brothers.  These days the term "photo-realism" would be equally applicable to this style of painting.

The painting is framed in a gold-coloured wooden frame, with an off-white cardboard mount, behind glass.

Framed, this painting measures 28"x25"x1".  Unframed it is 21"x16".
