WIP Pegaso 90mm Gen. de Bgd. Francois Fournier (Sarlovese) c. 1810

Not the best light but here he is end of day 1.

I had forgotten how small a 90mm figure is…just marginally bigger than a 75.

Your skill as a painter is already beginning to show, the face is almost there.

Hi Colin

Thanks for sharing the fleshwork pictures coming together nicely there

This is going to be another fine version , all credit to you for painting so many versions

What’s kept you going when painting so many ?......perhaps his story , the uniform ?

Enjoy the next session

Happy benchtime

Nice start and lovely soft tones on the face so far.

Cheers Simon

The uniform basically sums up the romance and style of the Napoleonic cavalry officer. The association with “The Duellists.” His interesting personality…he was likely a complete jerk, a show off and a bully. But unlike most bullies, he was brave enough having proved himself in multiple battles. And Gros’ portrait is a masterpiece IMO.
