Old Masters Recreation Project pt.5

I have finally completed my Old Masters recreation piece based on the original by artist Kenyon Cox! The light and subtle hatching was easier to master once I had established the Ebony pencil as my main tool and the charcoal pencil as details and deeper shadows.  I am very happy with the way that the second half (the upper half) of this picture turned out due to my growing comfort with the technique and materials. Very happy to be finished!
