Inspired with original photo by Viktor Peryakin from Moscow, Russia – Painted by Tim Tompkins from PaintHistory.com. Model: Andrey Brintsev of Moscow Russia.
I have done a lot of work with international photographers in the Living History and reenactment communities world wide. Viktor Peryakin from Russia is one of my favorites.
A very unique and interesting work of art! The facial features are superb. Down to the last detail, this is one of the finest portraits I have seen lately. One feature that stands out for me are his eyes. Even though he wears glasses, the eyes ‘communicate’ to me. There is a depth in them that are one of the ‘high points’ to me in this portrait. They are penetrating. His emotions are within them. The glow effect on the rim of the right part of the eyeglass frame emphasis this even more.
To me, this entire portrait and all its features, are of excellent quality.
