| comments from around the world |  | "The Baudelaire portrait is a powerful drawing with a strong impression!
The black-and-white paint decision is perfect selected for the portrait.
The face shows the real life with the ups and downs and special focus on the accentuated eyes gives a viewer the key to the inner life.
A impressive work from Samij Datta.", - Ellen Sommer, MaaEarth Business & Art, Kehl/Germany. | |
