Chiaroscuro Male torso (unfinished) - oil study on canvas

This post is a large unfinished (and probably shall remain so) chiaroscuro male torso study of Orpheus for a painting of Orpheus & Eurydice returning from the underworld.

Male study - Oil on canvas 22 x 16 inches


Shortly, I intend to start a large oil painting depicting the story of the loss of Eurydice to the underworld. I am still looking for a suitable location that I can use as inspiration to paint as the entrance to Hades.
