Intimate knowledge of facial anatomy has translated into a profound analysis of beauty, and our appreciation of it in the modern age. Almost divine in its presence, the eye of the portrait is a 500 carat raw Sapphire, formed over millions of years, and eludes to themes of creation, beauty, materialism and vanity.
