And Still I Dream-Framed Art

“And Still I Dream” by Edwin Lester has the most striking element is the intensity of the crossed arms and the serious expression on the face evoke a statement of inner strength. The sleeves of the shirt are rolled up, revealing a bracelet on the right wrist with the verse “Isaiah 40: 4-5” partially visible. The Bible, held close to the young man’s heart, serves as a powerful emblem of hope and spirituality.

The artwork is beautifully framed with a dark, richly textured brown wooden frame that adds to the solemn and powerful atmosphere of the piece. The inner matting is a light cream color with a double-lined border of brown that subtly draws the eye towards the central image, ensuring that the viewer’s focus remains on the poignant and carefully crafted narrative presented by Lester.
