Light Shaft 

Robert Vickrey (1926–2011) was an American artist and author who specialized in the ancient medium of egg tempera, a demanding technique he explored over six decades. For 51 years, the Sisters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul (based in New York) were the focus of most of his paintings.
