Mischa, this is beautiful and velvety, and absolutely not kitsch despite the sentimental subject. For me the latter is the most difficult accomplishment, which I think is due to the perfect handling of the charcoal.
Just great work

PS; Micha,despite all my good intentions I only worked on one Bargue plate this summer, and must confess I did not enjoy it at all. I think I'll pick it up again. How do you reproduce the plates ?
I had photocopies not up to standard. Also what I found long and pointless was to claculate the placement of different drawings on the same plate, for example that one of the eyes.
