Portrait de Maximilien Robespierre

Just to prove that I'm not actually dead!

I'm sorry that I haven't been able to upload anything recently; I've had so many essays that I have't really had much time for art! Which makes me sad

I got so fed up of one of the essays I was working on that I just gave up for the night and spent 6 hours drawing this, instead. It's a study of Labille-Guiard's portrait of Maximilien Robespierre (although there is debate as to who actually completed the painting; Labille-Guiard or Vigneron!) completed some time between 1786 and 1792.

Here's the original painting: [link]

I want to dedicate it to , whose gorgeous fanfic Madame Minister continually amazes me! Lee Anne, I am so sorry that I haven't been in touch, I haven't forgotten about the art for MM or Legion! As soon as things have settled down at Uni, I'll get right on it. It's at the top of my list of things to do!
