Pholage is a technique in art where gold, silver, or metallic leaf is applied to a surface and then partially removed to create patterns and textures. The process involves placing thin sheets of metal leaf onto the surface, letting them stick, and then using tools to carefully scrape away parts of the leaf to reveal delicate designs underneath. This technique adds a noticeable shine and depth to artworks and is often used in decorative arts to produce elegant and detailed effects.
