I Like j-pax-It gives a taste of time and class

D Capil Early 20th Century Continental School "The Chess Game"

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

what i mean is more clear in scetches so i looked on the site tantale mentioned and i found this finished drawing.. beauties!!!

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

my favorite, on the mentioned website, is the following ...

it looks in bad shape
