Nice thread. I'm especially a fan of Isaac Israel's work. This one is called: "the chess players"

thanks for the additions tantale en bastiaan... some works i realy admire where you can see the brush-strokes... it shows the mastery!

brushstrokes can also reveal lazy and untallented art... strokes should support the form ... not go against it... in my taste

edit: only misformed elbow and lower arm... are hhmm... not so nice
