I like to try and explain why I like an image even if my explanation sounds like bo**cks, so here goes. The artist and the two enigmatic figures at the top (statues?) form a surreal triangle within the composition, the rectangular blocks of stone are an interesting background and the diagonal of the staircase energises the whole composition. There are some interesting shadows around the artist and his easel but they are a bit lost because of the small size of the image.
