Willow charcoal on watercolor paper

44.5 x 31.5 in (113 x 80 cm)

$19,000

Inspired by a Rembrandt drawing of figures peeking around a corner, Santore reimagines the motif in a contemporary studio setting. Drawn entirely from life, the work captures three figures absorbed in the act of looking. There is a quiet tension in the scene, as the figures observe something just out of the frame. Despite the everyday setting, the arrangement recalls theatrical staging, heightening the sense of anticipation. The artist displays his mastery over charcoal, turning a fleeting moment of curiosity into a meditation on observation itself.
