"Middlethorpe Hall at Sunrise" stands as a sgraffito masterpiece crafted by artist hana, a prized acquisition by The National Trust property, Middlethorpe Hall, in November 2022. This evocative painting captures the renowned gardens of Middlethorpe Hall bathed in the ethereal glow of sunrise. Executed with Hana's distinctive artistic flair, the sgraffito technique is deftly employed, involving the meticulous layering of surfaces.

The canvas is initially adorned with a preliminary foundation, subsequently overlaid with another, and finally subjected to a skillful scratching of the superficial stratum. This process artfully reveals fragments of the concealed layers beneath, creating a visually enchanting narrative within the nuanced tapestry of the artwork
