Signed, titled, and numbered on verso. Edition of 15. In this hauntingly poetic image, the artist captures a young boy posed as a cherubic figure, seated against a dark, velvety backdrop with delicate wings affixed to his back. The child gazes directly at the viewer, his solemn expression counterbalancing the ethereal symbolism of the scene. A starkly white sculptural mask, cradled in his hands, draws the eye and creates a striking contrast against the sepia-toned photographic surface. The photograph exemplifies Gonzalez's signature approach - blending photography and painterly technique to imbue his portraits with a timeless, almost dreamlike quality.

From a private estate in Birmingham, MI. Additional Provenance: Jackson Fine Art Photography Gallery, Atlanta, GA. Original gallery tag on verso. Dimensions: 48.5"h x 32"w x .5"d (framed). In very good vintage condition. Full condition reports are available upon request.
