The work pays homage to Giovanni Battista Moroni's Portrait of Lucia Albani Avogadro (c.1555-60). In the painting the red tones of the original are enhanced, and two symbols of our age make their appearance: the logos of brands Gucci and Chanel. In the remake, though, the initials C and G have been inverted, as if one logo is the fake of the other. The work aims to question authenticity and plagiarism, newness and copy, as well as fetishism in fashion, portraiture and visual culture at large.
