About the artwork

A small horizontal night scene in a snowed-in village. The sky is split between deep blue-black on the left, lit by a single bright star, and a warm brick red on the right, with snowflakes falling across both. An angel sweeps in from the top-left corner, and down in the bottom-right corner three tiny crowned figures, the Three Kings, make their way past the snow-laden roofs. Alexandrov worked it in aquatint and etching, the colour laid down in broad atmospheric fields. Signed, marked Praha and dated 2023. A narrow plate, about 13.6 by 6.6 centimetres.
