Baron Sinister
1986

A stylized painting of a man and a woman closely positioned against a floral background. The man, in the foreground, is holding a gun and looking intently to the side, while the woman, slightly behind him, gazes directly at the viewer. Both are depicted with bold brushstrokes and vibrant colors, suggesting an action-packed or suspenseful narrative.
