Bessieres --- an old-new figure

[ivopreda]

here my recent version of the classic Le Cimier / Metal Modeles portrait of the Marshal Bessieres



only slightly modification for the laces on the trousers,I cancelled the original and repainted freehand the new to catch better the original portrait

Beautiful brush work Ivo. I really like the satiny effect of the sash.

Beautiful work Ivo. Just love the lace on the trousers

 

[Blind Pew]

It's a classic for a reason - it is a top figure, regardless of it's age......

And it's great to see it on here again.

A real classic, beautifully rendered, Ivo

I would echo Marc's sentiments Ivo. I would love to know how you executed the Legion d'honneur's ribbon sash? Incredible result for the silk watermark effect.

This is an unassuming figure by your standrads of creating and converting Ivo,

But how beautiful, a lovely piece.

You have captured him perfectly.
