Awesome and inspiring painting Francis!!!

Great bust and one which I contemplated of buying except for the aventail seeming to open on the wrong side of the face however a very realistic beard on a very expressive face nonetheless

Very nice

The figure is awesome overall. The white cape and tip of the red cross make an excellent touch. The leather effect is brilliant can you share your colour/technique with us?
