A dark, torn batlike wing extends to the left, while a long feathered angel wing opens to the right. Both wings emerge from the same figure, whose light and shadow are shaped by translucent blood-red washes and precise pen-and-ink contours.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRather than placing good and evil in separate bodies, the painting gives one man the capacity for both. The opposing wings suggest the daily tension between mercy and self-interest, restraint and desire, generosity and the temptation to dominate. His turn toward the feathered wing hints at attention rather than a completed victory: the moral life remains a practice of choosing. The still stance gives this internal struggle a contemplative dignity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eArtwork details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArtist: Andrew Moreno\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal monochromatic blood-red watercolor with pen and ink on paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5.5 inches wide × 8.5 inches high; portrait orientation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSigned Moreno, as shown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne original painting, not a print or reproduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis listing is for the individual artwork pictured.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Andrew Moreno","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50820780490949,"sku":"DIVIDED-SOUL-001","price":375.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/1292\/4101\/files\/img20261027_16371298-surround-watermark-001.jpg?v=1793148046","url":"https:\/\/morenofineart.com\/products\/between-mercy-and-desire-original-watercolor-ink-5-5-8-5-in","provider":"Moreno Fine Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
