Rudolph Salome and the Tigers — Hand-Painted Oil Reproduction

Painted to order in Dafen Village, Shenzhen · after Rudolf Ernst · Public domain · Myth

Salome and the Tigers uses an old story to get at something physical. Myth gives permission: the pose would be impossible in a portrait, and that impossibility is the point.

Hand-painted oil reproduction of Salome and the Tigers by Rudolf Ernst, painted to order in Dafen Village, Shenzhen
Rudolph Salome and the Tigers — Rudolf Ernst. Public-domain source image; your canvas is painted by hand from it.

Where to start looking

It reads as a simple arrangement until you start measuring where things sit.

Space is rationed carefully; the emptier passages are doing as much work as the busy ones.

Undated, and catalogued simply as a work by Rudolf Ernst.

Why hand-painting matters here

These compositions are an argument about surfaces — soft against heavy, matte against reflective. A press prints them all the same, so the argument goes quiet.

PriceOn request

Each commission is priced on its own terms: dimensions, surface build-up, frame. WhatsApp us the details and you will have an exact quote back, typically within the hour. You are talking to the people who will actually paint it, not a middleman.

Sizing it

Nothing is pre-made, which means you pick the dimensions. The sizes below cover most requests:

Hanging it

In a dining room, where the horizontals echo the table — that is where this one settles. We do not crop to fit a stock size. The canvas is cut to the original's proportions, which matters if the composition is unusually wide or tall.

Questions worth asking

Can I get this in a size that is not listed?

Yes — the listed sizes are the common requests, not a limit. Very wide or unusually tall proportions are routine for us.

What happens after I message you?

You tell us the painting, size and whether you want a frame. We quote, a painter starts on your canvas, and you get photographs before it ships.

Can I see progress photos while it is being painted?

We send photographs of the finished painting for approval before it ships. Mid-process images are not part of the standard workflow.
