This is a portrait of my niece, Sarah, when she was a young girl she modeled for a pastel class at the Coppini Academy of Fine Art in San Antonio.
Her pose reminded me of many of Rembrandt's portraits, so I intensified the shadows and highlights to create my own modern version of Rembrandt's effect.
Framed outside measure is approximately 27x23 inches. Scroll down for view in room.
