Lot description

Title: Avicenna Medium: Batik on cotton Signature: Signed Lower Right Provenance: Private Collection Lot Description: Large-scale batik textile depicting a stylised medieval manuscript-inspired composition in shades of burnt orange, brown, and ochre. The central inscription Avicenna is framed by intricate Celtic knotwork borders and flanked by four robed and haloed figures in profile, interwoven with abstracted scrollwork and geometric motifs. The piece blends Madden’s characteristic graphic precision with the soft, mottled surface effects of traditional wax-resist dyeing. Signed Madden lower right.
