Artist's Comments

Oil on canvas board. 55 x 46 cm.

Same model as in the first Mariella, but more realistic this time. This is the first time I've tried to use "the old masters technique" of an almost monochrome underpainting and several glazing layers on a portrait. I'm quite happy with the results.

EDIT: I guess I ought to put this back from scraps, since it's proving quite popular.
