"Microcosm: Galaxy" Flex Magnet

"Microcosm: Galaxy" is the fifth painting in my Microcosms series - delving into the theme of Alchemical microcosms - miniature life and worlds created in glass jars or beakers. This installment features a lovely but rather melancholic maiden cradling a jar containing what appears to be an entire galaxy! A world within a world indeed. If you look in her hair you will see an ornament in the shape of a sextant - an astronomical navigation device. My own original acrylic painting.
