Description: Great!! is the only word that can describe this hair picture.  The artistry is incredible and the subject is very unique.  A grieving MAN kneels at the base of a tree with his hands clasped in despair.  The tree has the initials of his loved one carved in it and just above them is a sad, broken off and withered branch.  The branch obviously symbolizes his lost love.  Note the vine climbing down the tree towards the grieving man.  The ivory background is shaded to look like the sky at sunset.  The detail of this piece is very fine and the hairwork is excellent quality. it is difficult to see how nice the hairwork is due to the highly domed glass over the hairwork.  Please take time to see this close up: 3905a.jpg and 3905b.jpg
