This is my latest project. I took a picture of Rude's first draft sculpture of Athena at the Gare d'Orsay in Paris. The final sculpture is on the Arc de Triomphe, which you can see if you go to this link:

I wanted to do a painting rendition of this piece, and so far, this is what I have done. I think it is interesting.
