I like his vogue pose

Let's assume his intentions are honest, but how did he manage to give her a ring with a halberd in one hand and a sword in another? Was he like "Darling, can you please hold my stuff for a sec, I have something nice for you"? Or did he produce the sword after he gave her the ring to make his...

I have no problems with the table or the window (they can be performing in London, after all), but there is an issue with the flute which the guy in the miniature holds like a reed-pipe (the artist in the picture got it right).

Very good points about distorted perspective. I also agree that moving the woman and the guy apart in the vignette kills the plot of the painting which is all about flirting and innuendo. With his fist on the table the cavalier in the miniature looks more threatening than flirting (and generally...

[There's also something strange about the overhang which seems much more on the left that the right and however much I play about with the geometry of the legs/stringer, I can't make sense of it.... perhaps just sloppy draughtsmanship? Whichever, the kit is wrong. NeilW, the more I look at...

That's an interesting idea, Neil. Much depends on the position on the table's horizontal beam which connects the two visible table legs on the left. Unfortunately, we can not see where the beam terminates on the right side. If it comes to the table leg which is between the cavalier's legs, then...

Thanks, Martin. I am not saying that triangle tables did not exist, but look at the read lines which indicate how a triangle table would have looked in the painting. Note that there would have been no place for the tankard on such a table. This is why the sculptor had to remove the tankard to...

I have mixed feelings about 3D reproductions of paintings (why not to make your own scene with a cavalier and a lady?). This is good as far as it goes, but I do not think that the table in the painting is triangle (look at the position of the tankard on the table).

Absolutely superb! Great subject and great execution.

Great, absolutely great. And you know what? I will tell you: this is great. Only the fake media does not like it, because this is great. just to clarify, the above is intended as irony

Great work, the shield stands out. Best wishes, Sergei

This German may have been from Ground Control!

I usually ignore WWII miniatures, but this one stands out. Beautiful composition and excellent paint-job. You can almost feel the desert heat.

Nice figure, though Blaster’s point about the left hand is well made. Also, what holds the shield below his waist? I assume there should be a belt or something.

it is an illustration to a Russian novel, commonly known as Heart of a Dog: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_of_a_Dog

She is weird and beautiful, even with one arm.

yes, judging by this source, it is: http://www.hsgalleries.com/gallery04/kingolaftryggvassonsagabt_1.htm

Excellent painting, I particularly like the correlation between the cap and the fur. And the face expression is great too.

It is a great bust. Will be following your progtess, Geoff.
