It is said that the best way to describe the art by Jan Mankes is as delictate. For those who never heard of him, Mankes was a Dutch realist painter who lived from 1889 till 1920. He's quite underrated, but fortunately he's coming back into fashion lately. On my painting you see his selfportrait. The scene spoke to me, because of the different directions my figures are looking.
