 Made another one. This time, I interpreted a portrait of King Philip IV of Spain as done by (the workshop of) Diego Velazquez. My mom used to call the portrait "the pinhead" as it's not only a very tall canvas (perhaps 7 feet tall) but the head is indeed too small for the body. There is a bit of humor in this version and I'm ok with that. He is a very pink and self-important looking fellow but I guess that's pretty normal when you're king.
