I liked the work, and I liked the nervous position of the right hand - a girl's lack of self-confidence, but the nails on the left hand should be trimmed...
Aleksander Pasyura, thank you for the kind words! The nails don't seem to clash with the image.
Serge Arutyunyan, I'm saying that this is a beautiful portrait in the style of old painters, and the girl is shy and trembling, but the nails, in my opinion, modernize her a bit: the right hand is the hand of a shy girl, the left is that of a confident woman... although, perhaps this is the duality, trinity, etc. of a woman's nature
Aleksander Pasyura, after googling the topic of Renaissance women's nails, it turned out that many women of that era also had bitten or broken nails, when manicures were probably only common among aristocratic circles. Basically, a tendency toward short nails. Thanks for the interesting observation!
Sergio Esthete, thank you! Sergio, I particularly like the right hand. Combined with the other (the one holding the fan), it adds a certain dynamism, which is what I was going for. Although, perhaps, following the classical canons, it would have been more correct to make a static portrait, where the position of the hands would have been appropriate. Then, perhaps, the stylization would have been more realistic.)))
A very high-quality photo: the lighting, the facial expression, the hair, the clothing, the colors, the background...everything is perfect! Although she could use some more experimentation with the hands...
Overall, I like it.
Although she could use some more experimentation with the hands...
Rakovich, that opinion is also valid
You get the same emotion.
I could create an entire textbook with the images of the eras.
