What's an Ermine?

The medium I used to create my artwork is acrylic and oil on linen. My technique is influenced by the renaissance era and is a figurative and representative styled portrait, as well as modern influences evident in the contemporary gold frame in the composition. My artwork portrays the evolution from traditional art to modern art. Depicting ‘Lady with An Ermine’ by Leonardo Da Vinci a traditional renaissance piece, appropriated by the addition of a gold frame and unconventional materials which pay homage to contemporary influences.
