Tony Scherman (b. 1950) is one of the most collected and cherished Canadian artists.

The artist is renowned internationally for his work, typically executed in encaustic (one of the most difficult medium to work in).

Scherman's moody palette and sumptuous figurative subjects (whether contemporary, historical or allegorical) reference Goya and Manet.

Peonies are one of Scherman's preferred flowers. He has repeatedly depicted them on canvas, on paper and in graphics.

This work, an aquatint from a small edition, is a fantastic example of Scherman's aesthetic.
