li dissero briganti e invece erano soldati
[fora savoia,Mimmo Cavallo]
Questa purtroppo la triste sorte che toccò hai briganti,di venire affibbiati come semplici ladroni.
Per quanto riguarda il disegno,molto bello ed accurato,sembra quasi una fotografia.

I think I love this portrait because she looks real; she's beautiful, b.a. and serious all at once. I love it! Great work and wonderful representation.

What a facial expression she has on her! And the intricacy on the knife is stupendous, I am enamoured of it and want one for myself. I am particularly drawn to the eyes which was expressively done and hold a certain amount of mischief/pride/and danger to them. I feel like I get a very good sense of her character just by this one captured moment. Excellent work!

Lo sguardo della "brigantessa" mette quasi paura per quanto è duro.
bello.

In effetti uno dei motivi della scelta di questo soggetto, è stato proprio lo sguardo che la brigantessa aveva nella foto, e che mi ha colpito molto :) mi fa piacere di essere riuscito in qualche modo a renderlo anche nell'illustrazione. Grazie :D
