Portrait of harpist




This is a portrait I did for a photographer I know of her daughter, a very gifted harpist. We did a full photo shoot together one evening. I wanted to use Rembrandt lighting techniques and she wanted to do some of that as well. Sort of a learning experience for both of us.

What do you think of the overall composition? I was a bit worried about having all that detail in the harp pulling away from the subject. I toned it down quite a bit to try to ensure that didnt happen.

The painting is 30x40, oil on canvas. I will post a detail shot of her face below.
