Great work John.
This is a superb sculpt Mate and have to ask is, will you be following up with more Rembrandt inspired pieces.......I do hope so.

It is a very nice and artistic work. I specially like the life you given to his eyes.

I totally agree with Edorta whose works are my guide.
The face and especially the eyes are amazing!
Congratulations John!!

Martin, Keith, Bob, Ralph, Edorta and Perseas I really appreciate all your kind comments. I'm sure you all know how tough it is to get eyes to look just right. On this one I was lucky that the colours and the highlights just worked out as I wanted. With my eye sight that happens about 1 in 4 times.

Thanks again and I really enjoy working from old master paitnigs so I will certainly be doing more where additional challenges present themselves.
John
