A bit of practice :) I just found her eyes so captivating, and overall the depth of emotion she conveys.

This took about 1:30h :) Enjoy!✨

Original Painting: The Last Day of Pompeii, K. Bryullov (1830-1833).

A young black haired girl in pink dress next to a thin dog on a patio attentively marvels at a young woman with curly blond braids wearing an elegant dress with long pure white skirt and puffy sky blue blouse that calmly sits atop a young black horse beginning to rear up on its hind legs, perhaps due to a happy brown dog behind the horse. The painting was commissioned by Countess Yuliya Pavlovna Samoylova in Milan. In the same year, 1832, it was exhibited at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan, where it was highly praised by the public and critics. In their reviews, the Italians compared Bryullov to Peter Paul Rubens and Antonis van Dyck and wrote that they had not yet seen "an equestrian portrait conceived and executed with such excellence". For almost forty years, almost nothing was known about the painting, which was part of the collection of Yuliya Samoylova. In 1872 or 1874, shortly before the death of the bankrupt Samoylova, her property was sold in Paris. At the auction "Horsewoman" was bought by one of the commissioners. Then it went to the St. Petersburg Society for the Pledge of Movable Property, where it was bought by Pavel Tretyakov in 1893. Art historians have concluded that Samoilova's pupil Giovannina was represented as the horsewoman, and the model for the little girl was Amacilia, the daughter of composer Giovanni Pacini and Samoilova's adopted daughter. According to the art historian Magdalina Rakova, "Horsewoman" is "a typical example of a portrait painting" in which "everything is conceived as an apotheosis of beauty and cheerful youth, as an apotheosis of the serenity of the feeling of life", and all this is contained in two actors: a young horsewoman and a little girl.
