Here is a close up - It's at a severe angle when photographed, so the face looks distorted - i.e. the eyes slant. This was so to avoid the glare from the canvas (photographed hastily with bad light). I'll post the digital scan photo later under unveilings in a week or so.
I think using cads to acheive the same is "doable", but I think I "got there" faster with the Paxton palette (altered slightly - I didn't have Venitian red, and I added dioxazine violet and kings blue, and Old Holland turquoise).
