ACEO, 2.5 x 3.5 inches, watercolor and gouache, November 2007 An ACEO portrait of the 12th Century King Richard the Lionheart. Richard was essentially French, though born in England and ruler for 10 years he spent only six months there while King. He fought in the Crusades and his nickname came from his military bravery. Though he did marry he appears to have had relationships with men also. He died in 1199. This is a commission piece.
