Friends,
here my last finished figure.
Is a portrait of Joachim Murat as king of Naples took from a famous painting of Jean Antoine Gros. Figure is an heavy conversion of Metal Modeles horse and Elisena rider with some parts sculpted completely.










I hope you could enjoy it

Friends,
Thanks for the kind words, the figure is painted almost completely in oils except the green of the jacket that was painted in acrilics.

"fantastic work ! but circles on the skin of the horse are maybe too pronouced"
Romain you are right, is difficult to find a Bay horse dappled like this in nature but I reproduced the painting where they are probably much pronounced that mine.

ciao a tutti Ivo
