I'm sorry...i can not.
I did get to study the actual painting up close though. It is extroadinary.
The faces on each whirling fairy is angelic to say the least.
When i saw it, it was on display at the Kunsthause art museum in Zurich Switzerland. The Artist was Swedish, but may have painted this picture in ITALY, very shortly before dying at a young age.
