A grayscale gouache figure floats against a deep indigo star chart, the Eastern Map for August from Richard A. Proctor’s 1891 astronomy guide. Painted directly onto the antique page, this work bridges the human form with the infinite night sky — evoking themes of wonder, solitude, and connection to the cosmos. This painting is for anyone who holds August with significance.

The original painting measures 5.5 × 7.5 inches. It has been professionally matted and preserved in a pewter metallic frame. The final dimensions of this artwork are 12 × 14 inches. This piece arrives framed, ready to hang, and with a certificate of authenticity.
