She stands in silence, her dark gown dissolving into feathers while ravens circle like living shadows — frozen beneath hand-aged mirror glass, watching the room with eyes that follow the candlelight. This is not decoration; it is a presence. This artwork is created using the églomisé technique — a decorative art form dating back to 18th-century France. Parts of the mirror's reflective backing are carefully removed by hand, and the image of a dark raven queen is embedded beneath the glass surface. The remaining mirror fragments catch real light and merge with the painted figure beneath, creating a layered effect where the queen seems to shift between the real world and her own. The wide distressed dark brown wood frame features heavy bronze and gold dry-brushed patina with a deep burgundy wine-red mat — ornate and commanding without overpowering the figure within.
Collector's Verdicts
“She watches the room with such presence. The mirror fragments around her face catch candlelight in a way that makes her look like she's breathing. Extraordinary work.”

“The burgundy mat inside the frame adds a richness that elevates the whole piece. The églomisé effect is exactly as described — layered, luminous, impossible to photograph.”
