A commission to be delivered

This week I put the finishing touches to the portrait of this young lady.  A commission proceeded through my gallery in the Netherlands. For this occasion I show here also the pencil sketch. Such small, basic sketches I usually show to the client,  it is explicitly not meant to already judge the resemblance. The idea is that I like to show how I want to represent the model, and to clarify the cropping. Therefore I make this drawing in the most simple way possible. After all, I have a choice out of a variety of photos and the customer wants to know in advance how the portrait will look like. If I would make the drawing more detailed, it would distract from that intention. I am glad the client gave permission to show this portrait on my blog.
