Acrylic, marker and gold foil on glass/Reverse painting
In a highly erotic painting, the artist experiments not just with material but also technique. The images are a mix of reality and fantasy and shows two couples as well as one more female figure with Goud’s recurring motif of a fully-uddered goat. There is immense detailing in the patterns that Goud paints—the iron railing in green shown in the top area, the dresses of the women, the ornately designed pillow and bedsheet—to bring forth this tableau in erotica.
