Title: Olympic games
Post by: louis on March 03, 2013, 10:55:15 AM

Figure of Alfred Retter (recent owner Wilfried Dangelmaier).

Engraving of Mohr. His bodies and not least his faces are stunning!

30 mm, of course  ;)

A nicely engraved figure for sure, and your painting does it justice. The gold in particular is very good

Really nice, Louis. The skin and bronze tones are excellent.
