I did this portrait in oil on a 11 by 14" canvas. This work was inspired by Flemish artist Peter Paul Ruben's 1616 masterpiece"Portrait of a Young Girl". I completed this work in 2011 while attending an oil painting workshop in Sterling Hall at Lake Forest, IL. It was a challenging project for me to match the skin tones with the original work. Apparently, in the painting, the young girl is Ruben's 12 year old daughter Clara Serena.
