One of my favorite artists is William Bouguereau. His figure work is unsurpassed in my humble opinion and I love to cover his work to help challenge my portrait skills. I have spent countless hours studying and copying works of some of my favorite masters and this piece is a cover of a portion of William Bouguereau's painting titled... "Étude d''une femme, pour Offrande à l''Amour". His subjects have a timeless quality and I wanted to capture that here.
