A wonderfull piece of Art in the manner of the old masters. Look for the lights on the shoes: just little lines. Or look at the face: only shadows, no eyes, no mouth, deeply seen and analysed structure of the human shape. Stunning. And the NMM of the helmet remembers to Rembrandt: a few stripes, a few dots - perfect, the eye of the beholder makes the work, not the artist. very inspiring, one must have more bravery to use the brush. No oversophisticated blending, but resolute setting of paint. I am amazed.
