Overall a beautiful piece. The perspectives are a bit off on the vase, wall, and floor. It makes me feel as if she is sliding off the picture.

It is nice to see a refreshing portrait of the femine body in a classical illumination. You have such a keen eye for it and it's a great compliment to your artistry. Well done

Another great piece. Very "classic" in feel. The model is great, and her pose works quite well for the setting you've selected.
I would just suggest a little bit of shadow on the floor right around the toes - not a lot, just enough to account for the curvature
of the feet.
Great texturing, and good choice for the background.

Another lovely image. I am not familiar with Alma-Tadema (at least not by name) but I love emotion captured in this work. You have a great knack for capturing that vintage look/feel and I love the texture in the floor/wall. One little nit for me is the vase - it looks newer, like it was added later to a vintage image... I think it is because the shiny polish overpowers the texturing a bit. Now I am going to hit google for Alma-Tadema...

I agree about the vase. I should have found a less shiny one. Ah well.

still a beautiful image, and a fine tribute! I looked up his art and enjoyed myself - beautiful work - can't believe I hadn't stumbled upon him prior to this. So thanks for introducing me to a new artist

I love this piece. THere should be more plus sized people in artwork.

I agree. For me, the size of the model is of absolutely no importance. I just look at the pose, the lighting and the costume (or lack thereof.) I appreciate your comment. I hope there will be more variety of models in other artists' works.
