Third's panel in "Para Agustina — Extravagante Retrato de Família", the 120-metre collective mural that ran the length of the CCDR-NORTE wall on Via Panorâmica Edgar Cardoso, between the entrance to the Faculdade de Letras and the corner of Rua do Campo Alegre. Thirteen artists from the north of Portugal, curated by Frederico Draw, each took a title from Agustina Bessa-Luís for the centenary of her birth; the wall was inaugurated in November 2022. Third's stretch is a woman's face, modelled with his usual attention to light, set into a field of blue and orange geometry that reads as snowflake or as azulejo depending on how far back you stand, with horsemen riding through the pattern on either side of her — Fanny Owen, the novel of a doomed love and a horseman, in his own language. It sits beside Pedro Podre's panel on the same wall.
