A classical painting copy -90% and glazes missing

[Caesar]

A copy from Bouguereau.
I'll try to use glazes and some other layer adjustments to try to smooth transitions for a better simulation ...
Details won't be very neat because of the reduced size due to this computer resources limits ...

Thank You, dear Jon. I hope I'll be able to have it finished in the most similar way to an ancient oil painting with many delicate glazes ...

LOL .... have a seat, dear Jean! I hope then not to disappoint You at the end! Thank You!

Dear Caesar, sooooo beautiful!!!

[Caesar]

Thank you, dear Lee! First I have to correct the background not so accurate though, to make it look better defined in its details and tones.

Caesar, this is gorgeous. I just hapen to love Bougereau to pieces and sketched and painted many of his pictures. And always interesting on ones copy is, that we always leave ourselves in it... our style, our brush strokes and so on.... so it is always an original of a kind... and this is heavanly beautiful...his ladies, especially young girls are filled with such a sensitivity, inocense and kindness, one could cry of joy looking at them. Yours here is beautiful...
