Deviousness |
I love the little highlights one the hair, the ear, the eyes and the one on the chin. The darkness of the surrounding shading really makes them stand out. Very nice chiaro scuro.
The expression can contribute greatly to the appeal of a portrait, as it does in this case. I love how the body is slightly muted, so that our attention isnt drawn away from the face.
(By the way, since this is from life, I believe it should be in the "Portraits and Figures gallery.)
