Wow, that is an awesome painting! I've forgotten how fabulous the old masters, especially Rembrandt were. Most of the time when folks post a painting for reference I just look at the article of clothing or details that are being referenced, but this one just knocked my socks off as a work of art. And I love the outfit. If I can't get my FI interested in having one, I might just have to make something like it for myself! :-) Annette M

Most of them are on the right hand but the one of Valois one is on the left. If nothing else, I've been introduced to the massive amounts of portraits from the references in this discussion board. --------------------------------- Relax. Yahoo!
