Study of 'Meeting in Lyons' by Rubens

Study of 'Meeting in Lyons' by P. P. Rubens (center detail). During my stay in Paris, I was elected to copy at the Louvre. I chose to copy this detail of a painting in the Medici series. Since I only had a limited amount of copy time, I chose to create a more impressionistic version of the two lions. However, the basic tenets of the classical van Aken oil technique were still adhered to. Because of my impressionistic leanings, this is not an exact copy.
