24×30” acrylic underpainting with oil glazing and finishing layers. Arthur Morgan from Red Dead Redemption 1 & 2, as envisioned by Rockstar, is the central figure, with a strong influence from the original game design and character study, now combined with the striking addition of Death playing the fiddle from Arnold Böcklin’s 1872 work “Self-Portrait of Death Playing the Fiddle.” The composition blends Western realism with symbolic, macabre undertones to create a haunting, evocative portrait.
