April 1997, colour pencil, pastel and poster colour, 400 x 500 mm
In this painting, Uranus hangs low above the horizon of the dark moon Umbriel. Above left, we see Ariel and just near the planet at left Miranda and at right Titania, other satellites of Uranus. From the shadows of Umbriel, Ariel and Titania, on the planet (the black dots) you can derive their real sizes. This whole situation actually appears on April 24th 2007.
