ArtSlant Showcase Winner with "The Orientalist"

    
    
 
  
"The Orientalist" - A portrait of Jørgen Christensen-Ernst

In the sun glasses you see the reflection of a mosque in Antakya, Turkey. The text in the background is part of a quotation from the Pre-islamic poet Imr' ul-Qays (d. ca. 540 AD):
  
"Today wine, 
Tomorrow business."
