I really love this piece, the rich red, and all the intricate patterns. She looks very noble and willowy. I was surprised by the use of the purple, all the intense red, oranges and yellows. But they do work and look great, bold but not overpowering. I suppose the soft misty green background helps mellows it out.
This is an androgynous figure. Last night I'd have said a girl, but I'm going with male this morning. The design and coloring of the clothing, Pope"s hat and that circular thing are outstanding. The pose, hair and the face all contribute to an overall design that is beautiful; both simple and elaborate. This character just needs the sketchiest of backgrounds to be stunning. Gorgeous fabric.
Everything about this is beautiful. At first I thought that the background was kind of plain but it allows the viewer to appreciate the figure rather than the background. You have beautiful work.
anywho i love this as i love like everything that you do. Yes very well done and the detail is superb as usual.
