Striking abstract work by American artist Barbara Rae Schaefer (b. 1950) exemplifies the artist's mastery of the encaustic medium, utilizing a sophisticated drip technique to create a rich, textural surface. The composition is defined by its intense green vibrancy and layered color variations, which gain depth and luminosity through the unique properties of heated beeswax. Executed on a linen support, the painting reflects the technical rigor Schaefer developed during her MFA studies at the Pratt Institute. Measuring approximately 36" H x 36" W x 1 1/2" D and signed on the reverse, the piece is presented in overall good condition with only minimal wear.
