Known for his serene and enigmatic figurative compositions, Feltus captures two women in quiet reflection, their gestures and gazes creating a choreography of stillness and tension. This limited edition print exemplifies the artist’s masterful sense of form, tone, and emotional ambiguity.

Rendered in warm, muted earth tones and framed in gold with a linen mat, the piece radiates a timeless, classical balance while maintaining a deeply modern sensibility. Feltus’s figures exist outside of narrative or time—introspective presences inhabiting a space of silence and poise.

Alan Feltus was born in Washington, D.C. in 1943 and raised in Manhattan. He studied at the Tyler School of Fine Arts, earned a BFA from Cooper Union, and an MFA from Yale University. Since 1987, he has lived and worked in Italy. Feltus’ work is celebrated for its psychological depth and compositional harmony, earning him numerous honors including the Rome Prize Fellowship, Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grants, and the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Grant.
