A double-sided portrait of fine artist Anastasia Elena Baranoff, daughter of the artist, was created by Elena Vladimir Baranoff in her signature technique of hand prepared egg tempera, incorporating ground rare semi-precious stones as lapis lazuli and natural mineral and earth pigments. The delicate floral border, text and ornamentation were painted by the hand of the artist in 24 ct. yellow gold, 12 ct. white gold, 20 ct. dark lemon gold and 23 ct. moonlight gold. The portrait was painted on a specially formulated marble gesso surface on a custom-made, curved basswood (linden wood) panel designed by the artist.
