The Snow Queen

“The fur and the cap, which were made entirely of snow, fell off, and he saw a lady, tall and white, it was the Snow Queen…”

-from, The Snow Queen (1845), by Hans Christian Andersen (1805–1875).

----------------------------------------

Memo: This was my second attempt, like The Snow Queen, my first attempt, it doesn’t meet the criteria, because I missed the line in the directions that this was to be a full body portrait.

However, my third attempt Snow Queen, was accepted.

Notes:

To many,  the most classic portrait is Leonardo da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa”.

A friend was so overwhelmed by its beauty when she saw it, that she was sick in front of it. Maybe the staff was just being nice; but, they said that this happened fairly often.

(The Mona Lisa, by Leonardo da Vinci, oil on panel, 1503–1519, was probably completed while the artist was at the court of Francis I.)
