Sometimes it doesn´t matter what era, subject, scale, etc you are interested in, whan a certain figure comes along, you just want to own it yourself. This is definately one of them.
Seeing this very powerful and dramatic bust, which is full of emotion, reminded me of this equally emotional artwork, of the same theme. It's called Kamikaze's last sunrise, by Hokunin. Perhaps some inspiration for this outstanding bust to paint by. Regards, SG
