I painted a couple of AVENGERS after Marko Djurdevic’s covers.

Studio exercise after Jean-Auguste-Dominque Ingres’ “Mlle. Rivière.”
Interestingly, a “rivière” is a fine necklace typically made of diamonds, literally deriving from the idea of a “river of jewels.” According to Webster’s this term’s first documented use occurred after Ingre’s death.
I assume that Ingre was thinking about this with the title- but it could be a coincidence. The subject, though beautiful and seemingly rich, is NOT wearing a necklace.
Me and my sis have been doing this DVD every day.
