A Russian Beauty

     Here's one of my recent sketches.  I based it on a portrait painting I found on google.  The painting is called A Russian Beauty, and was apparently painted by a fellow named Alexei Alexeivich Harlamoff, or so google tells me.  The style struck me as being rather similar to Renoir.  At any rate, the face fascinated me, and thus, I decided to try my hand at drawing it, and here's the result.
