OIL PAINTING: Ophelia
Lefebvre paintings are generally "highly finished." In other words, they display consistent levels of precision throughout and have glassy-smooth surfaces, thus "erasing" brushstrokes and other signs of the artist's handiwork that might get in the way of the illusion. Exactitude, slickness, rich detail, and a love for storytelling are the benchmarks of Lefebvre's painting.
