Description
In this intimate portrait, Guillaume Coustou portrays his brother as a craftsman wearing a turban. The personality expressed in the bust seems shrewd, proud and fully confident in himself.
The original portrait was rendered in terracotta and is now permanently housed in The Louvre, Paris.

Object Parts
I always wondered how sculpts would look like if painted. This started when I was told that the sculpts in the metope of Parthenon where painted and what remains today is the decoloured marble after many ages.
Some times I just try to paint, but in other cases, something provocative comes into my mind and I follow a more creative path. In any case, enjoy!
