The attitude of the lower hand is magnificent. I'm not afraid to say Michelangelo.

I love both this and "Goldmund"

It's my favourite book of all time. I love how you depicted them as women, especially how they're filled with symbols that show their true persona.

You have a wonderful gallery keep it up

Thank you! I'm so glad a fan of the book enjoys these! I often have the difficulty of trying to understand comments and criticism of my illustrations from people who haven't read the book, and it's very relaxing to me to read your comment. Thanks again!
