About the Item
"Falling Asleep While Spinning Yarn" by Louis Edwarmay is a captivating piece that beautifully captures the quietude and exhaustion of daily labor. The painting portrays a woman in the midst of spinning yarn, her head gently drooping as sleep overtakes her.

Edwarmay's masterful use of earthy tones and fine detail creates a nostalgic atmosphere, inviting the viewer to share in a moment of peaceful respite amidst the toils of life.
Edwarmay’s work is a tender homage to the unspoken beauty found in mundane tasks. Through his delicate brushwork and subtle color palette, he explores themes of fatigue, patience, and the intersection of work and rest. The painting resonates with a timeless quality, offering a glimpse into the quiet dignity of everyday life. The painting is signed and dated lower left, 1845.

Enjoying Old Times
Located in Fredericksburg, VA
"Enjoying Old Times" by Charles Baker captures a poignant and joyful moment in the life of an older man, immersed in the beauty of nature. The painting features the man in the midst of a hike, his weathered walking stick in one hand, and a bottle of champagne in the other. His gaze is fixed on the bottle, a focused and content expression playing on his lips, suggesting a celebration of memories or perhaps a spontaneous toast to the present moment.
Baker’s use of warm, earthy tones highlights the natural surroundings, with the man standing against a backdrop of greenery, a rocky path, and a clear, open sky. The composition is rich in detail, from the rugged texture of the man’s clothes...

Daniela Gullotta, Abandoned Church, Urbex, 100x150cm, 2020
Located in Milano, MI
Urbex is the English acronym for urban exploration and is an activity that consists of searching for and locating abandoned infrastructure with the goal of visiting, photographing and conveying its contents, with particular involvement of methodologies from geography, anthropology, sociology to cultural studies.
Her works have been in the past approached to the works of Anselm Kiefer (b. 1945) and Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-1770), but in Gullotta's paintings the absence of color makes the spaces particularly ethereal, allowing them to be ideally lifted to new places and to new life.
An artist of international caliber who has decided to entrust her return to her homeland to Almach Art Gallery in Milan, while maintaining connections with important galleries, such as Marlborough Fine Art in London and Galerie Koch in Hanover.
The artwork represents an ideal abandoned church...
