Excellent in every way.

This will be popular, nice thing about a demi ronde is that you have a fixed line of view, so lighting effects and intense shading become viable options.
Displayed like a flat against a well painted trompe l'oeil background this could be stunning.

That is really cool. I may finally paint Napoleon.

Great likeness and a lovely thing to paint.
But I have a question about the the epaulettes…….I may be wrong but shouldn’t they be visible? It was my understanding that his epaulettes were swung forward as they didn’t fit under the great coat/riding cloak (as depicted in this bronze bust from about 1860 and a similar figure).

Excellent in every way.

And the bust of Napoleon is quite nice, too!

Maybe someday she'll sculpt a bust of Frederick the Great?

Prost!

You may be right but either way that does look very strange (borderline comical even), so I'm calling "artistic license" if that is the case.

I can see where Nigel is coming from and agree, but I still think it works, as the way the coat is sitting, it would still cover the epaulettes.
Should paint up nicely.

Excellent work.. I'm thinking Josephine has put his epaulettes in the wash.

Hello friends,
First of all thank you for kind comments about our work.This demi round figure is already available from our website

Concerning epaulettes....there are numerous canvases showing Napoleon in the coat WITHOUT epaulettes or NOT visible epaulettes. I will make a separate post with the images if it's necessary.

Wishing everybody a great day!

 

[Anastasiya]

So here I dedicated some of my time to finding and downloading all these images in order it's clear that Napoleon wasn't wearing epaulettes all the time, or simply he had them under the coat. And, that my version of Napoleon is not just an "artistic vision" but accurate representation of Napoleon with an important historical research. I hope you will find those images useful and inspiring Looking forward to seeing your painted versions of this demi round figure

 

[Anastasiya]

Excellent work.. I'm thinking Josephine has put his epaulettes in the wash.

This is the depiction of last year's of Napoleon as an Emperor because he looks tired and quite old. At this time he was already divorced with Josephine for some years

 

[Wayneb]

Very well done......Keep up the impressive work.........
