This painting is in part a study from Rembrant's older people he got into painting. I understand the interest in wanting to capture the times behind the faces. This was a enjoyable painting, and took a long time to develope. Painted by Mark Marshall 3/06. 18x24 Oil on Canvas. All rights reserved by Artist.

A very difficult subject, Mark, and you have made a good job of it! I very much like the way that you have got lots of different colours into the beard to give it life and depth.Jean M. Laffitau 08 Oct 2007
