Philosopher Oil Painting, Hand Painted Plato Writing in the Garden of the Academy on Canvas, Ancient Greece Wall Art

Hand painted oil on canvas of Plato in the garden. He sits in a burnt orange robe on a wooden chair, writing on a sheet held against his knee, with scrolls on a round table beside him, a column and a small temple in the green light behind, and tall trees overhead. Every piece is painted by hand to order, so no two are ever identical. Yours will carry its own brushwork.
