The first time I saw this beautiful bust, I knew I had to paint "her". I think Alexander Deryabin did a great sculpture work and I fell in love with her at first sight.

I wanted to simulate a "dusty looking" with paints in the whole figure, skin, hair and fabrics. I tryed to achieve a soft and delicate aspect, because it was what was fashionable in the 18th century.

I hope you like Violette...I gave to her this name because this color, violet, was the first one about which I thought to paint her when I saw her for the fist time :-)

A kiss: Pepa.
