  2. Hi JWC I saw this painting in person in a museum in the North of France it is amazing In real life and is larger then life size.

  3. I love this painter and all his lovely gladiators, soldiers, etc. - but he always gives them enormous feet! (This one's aren't too freakish.) Must be some fetish of the artist, because they're usually so out of proportion - rather spoils it for me....

  4. Hi Stephilius Drouais was a fabulous artist! Your are right I have noticed that he makes a emphasis on male feet.
