About Me
- andrew1860
- I'm a antique dealer and Historical Folk artist. I created this blog to document and highlight my artwork along with my day to day life as a Artist, Antique dealer and collector. My favorite two periods in history are France's Ancien Régime, the time of French Queen Marie Antoinette 1770-1789 and the antebellum period of the American South 1830-1860. Both of theses periods ended tragically with war. I intend to explore furniture, architecture, decorative arts, culture, history, fashion and the people that made up these two fascinating periods in time. I recently moved back to my roots of Mobile, Alabama after living away for 17 years. Come and explore the restoration of my turn-of-the century Art's and crafts bungalow into a Antebellum show place.
LOVE him! How couldn't I?
ReplyDelete... and damn those convenient draperies...
Hi JWC I saw this painting in person in a museum in the North of France it is amazing In real life and is larger then life size.
ReplyDeleteI love this painter and all his lovely gladiators, soldiers, etc. - but he always gives them enormous feet! (This one's aren't too freakish.) Must be some fetish of the artist, because they're usually so out of proportion - rather spoils it for me....
ReplyDeleteHi Stephilius Drouais was a fabulous artist! Your are right I have noticed that he makes a emphasis on male feet.
