Mona + X

My take on two famous portraits. I gave Mona a gaunt look with a square jaw. I interpreted the profile of Sargeant’s fabulous Madam X.

Women, with Towel shows another in the mirror.  A third appears in outline, derived from the Portrait of a Young Woman, recently attributed to Leonardo.  Her outline is done with a water color pencil, otherwise the work is acrylics.  The background is applied with a knife.  Original and prints.
