A beautiful painting - and those dress-folds on the bottom look great! And so does the background, and the shading. I saw that there is another deviation with some details - I will have a look at it in a minute ^^

This is a portrait of an angel’s soul!
He is so inexpressibly good, kind, sincere...
His refinement and softness are fascinating.
Such beauty and virtues could be praised only in poems.
The painting and the poem are worthy of admiration!
Sublime Art!

Thank you! Your words is very valuable for me!
I read descriptions of beautiful eunuchs of Byzantium, who were compared to heavenly angels, and I was so impressed that I painted this radiant and pure image. I experience a great spiritual uplift when I reading such descriptions, and embodying such beauty in the art. The eunuchs were called "earthly angels" and angels were called "heavenly eunuchs". (Macarius of Egypt describe that)
I could not find this text in English, so I'm sending Russian text.
"Есть при видимом дворце ромеев почетные мужи, далекие от всякого смятения и волнения, никем не принуждаемые ни к ношению оружия, ни к боевому строю, так называемые царские евнухи, уважаемые всеми людьми и любимые самим царем; им доверено носить кому порфиру, кому повязку, кому что другое драгоценное и царственное. И есть на небесах чтимые всевышним Царем мужи, истинные евнухи, оскопленные, очищенные вышедшие из битвы с грехом; им доверены отечества благословенные, полные мира и отдохновения, и дарованы царская порфира и небесные сокровища. Такие совершенно освобождаются от воинской службы и впредь живут в безмятежности."
