Oil on canvas mounted on board, 2000, signed 'David Bierk' and dated on the reverse.

46 1/2 x 44 1/2 in., 58 x 57 in. (frame).

Note: The re-interpretation of art historical references by David Bierk are invented images rather than copies of masterworks, serving as a bridge between the history of art and post-modern ideas. His academically painted "copies" are often framed by the artist with modern steel slats that juxtapose Old Master academic painting with Modernist abstraction. 

Nancy Hoffman Gallery, NY.
