I 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....
LOVE him! How couldn't I?

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.

ReplyDeleteHi Stephilius Drouais was a fabulous artist! Your are right I have noticed that he makes a emphasis on male feet.
