Basically, I just wanted to paint an awesome old room with lots of awesome old stuff in it. It's the most time consuming painting I made this year; the sketch and line drawing alone took somewhere in the vicinity of 10 hours.

As you can see in the WIP steps-

- it started out as a Tintin fanart but I lost my fangirl spirit somewhere along the way. And now it's... well, this. :) This thing. With the Siamese cat from Marlinspike Hall, a window view of the Sant'Ambrogio chapel in Florence, and the lamp that hangs above my parents' dinner table, and maps of Syldavia and Borduria on the wall, and 1920s technical gadgets.

The dress is real, too. I bought it at Dawanda (the German/European equivalent of Etsy)

wunderschönes Selbstportrait!und traumhaftes Kleid .

Deine Bilder sind toll, so klassisch und malerisch und trotzdem super realistisch, toller Stil !!!

...aber "lol", dachte für eine Sekunde Oscar Wilde wäre Prof. Snape von harry Potter,...also jetzt nicht weil du es nicht eindeutig gemalt hast, es ist ganz eindeutig Oscar Wilde,
aber so von weitem gibt es da schon Gemeinsamkeiten. :) ist mir nie aufgefallen

Das ist ja eine geniale Kaffeemaschiene!

Und tolles Bild ganz allgemein. Diese vielen Details. Sogar Oscar Wilde fehlt nicht.

Kristina, that's a beautiful painting and I thank you for sharing it with us! The very first thought which my brain put forward, after I'd studied your illustration for only a few seconds, was "It's Sylvia Plath!"

The manual typewriters and the vacuum-method coffee brewer, along with the young woman's attire and her overall appearance, were some of the conscious factors leading me to think Sylvia—those, plus the modest clutter. Yeah, it's her all right: back in the days when she could still smile easily.
