Oil painting, not hanging on a wall, but placed in front of a valuable rug - that is an exciting bringing together of two works of art.
New harmonies arise.

In a special exhibition in Augsburg 2015 under the title "linked", paintings by Wolfgang Lettl were combined with rugs by Jürgen Dahlmanns (RUG STAR).

Wolfgang Lettl wrote about this painting:

Don't expect me to tell you a lot about Goya's Marchesa de la Solana. I copied her because I liked her so much.

I am allowed to do so, right?

I released her from her brown portrait background; I moved her slightly off-centre, and placed her in an open landscape. No, not a beautiful scenery from the South, but rather a glimpse of the Po Valley with ugly industrial architecture, and above it all, in contrast to the proud Spaniard, three arrogant airheads in an impossible flying machine.

With freshly polished shoes, though.
