Pondering the Mona Lisa II - A study after the fact Painting

After producing my main piece on this subject a few years previously, I wanted to tackle it again from a different perspective. This is a much smaller piece with the focus narrowed down to the central triangle of painting, viewer and light source. Appropriately hung and lit, I hoped that same perspective could give a viewer of this piece a nuanced version of that central theme. This painting is therefore unusual in almost being a study for the larger work that comes some time after that work was completed.That painting can be seen in my profile still. In terms of the subject, Napoleon is seen here again 'pondering the Mona Lisa'. Traditionally a figure of historical importance is front and centre in such a depiction but I was again trying to embue a more human perspective where the atmosphere of the painting is what captures the viewer rather than the particular subject matter. Napoleon famously owned the Mona Lisa and was responsible for it leaving Italy and moving to France, eventually ending up in the Louvre.
