Study of a Fortuny painting

 A good way to learn to do great work is to copy a master. From time to time I have done this and I always come away learning something new. This time I selected a painting by Mariano Fortuny that I saw at the Prado museum in Spain. The image floated in the back of my mind for several decades before I decided to see what I could learn from this Spanish master. The original is surprisingly small, about 8 x 12 " aprox. I decided to make it larger and easier on myself.
