☀️ For the Street Musicians fresco & the mosaic with the same scene were created after a common prototype dated to 3rd c. BC. The fresco is from the Villa Stabia near Pompeii, and the mosaic is from the Pompeii Villa of Cicero. Both are in the Naples museum today.

A quick study. I used a triadic palette for this one: Cadmium Red Light, Naples Yellow and Indigo. This combination has quickly become one of my favourites!

I'd love to hear what your favourite colour combinations are!
