A New Historical Piece

I have started another historical illustration.  Had the idea for it since last fall and started the drawing when I got sick this past weekend.  I find that drawing in the livingroom when I don't feel good enough to stand at the easel is very productive for me.  Having great reference materials was one of the most important things I learned at the last two Illustration Master Classes that I attended.  I think this is pretty good and am in love with the dandy.  I did not intend him to be so handsome, but what can I say, I am a female and a romantic.
