Boy, ain't there something special staring in these old artworks...some kind of depth.

great oil painting ! Good job !

Love it. Thank you for your sharing !!

Oil portraits are my favorite art to observe. Probably because I'm too impatient to work with oils myself, haha but regardless thanks so much for sharing! I'm a fan.

Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for posting it :)
