Portrait of Charles II seated in an interior

Oil on canvas. 160 × 108 cm. The work, which is now kept in a private collection in Madrid, is an interesting representation of Charles II that stands out for its way of portraying the monarch. The image of Charles II was the most represented and disseminated of all the Spanish Habsburgs. However, we have not found any portrait on canvas where the monarch is seated. Until now, we have only located two documents from the reign of Charles II, which represent the seated monarch. One of them, attributed to Matías de Torres, corresponds to the Office of the title of Marquis of Monterrico, dated 1687, and the other also by Matías de Torres, is the Office of the title of Marquis of Torrepacheco, from approximately 1692.

I'm thinking abt that pretty fall leaves embroidery pattern post and about how like... it is categorically a repost, it's a reupload. right? a thing that is generally disliked. but because it's credited, it's genuinely boosting the artist in question. and it could ALWAYS be like this. reposting content could ALWAYS be a symbiotic relationship, but because sourcing back to the original creator of something is so uncommon, it's just easier to ask people not to repost it at all. and people still don't understand the difference. or they'll go to the effort of cropping out usernames/signatures to repost something, which is More Effort than literally crediting the creator of something you liked enough to want to repost. Like. I literally don't actually care if my own shit gets reposted, you have to understand. I just don't want it STOLEN. But "do not repost" is easier to write on my art than "you can repost this, but don't alter the image/remove my signature, don't you dare write 'credit goes to the artist' because that is not credit, please link back to my original post or someplace that you can actually find me. please use an actual link/url instead of writing a non-clickable link of my username, because making it text instead of a clickable link cuts the number of people who will go to the effort of visiting my own page in Half." All those aggregate themed accounts, those fuckin annoying as hell instagrams and facebook groups that are like "body positive art we love wamen 💕 hashtag feminism" and then MASS-STEAL plus sized art created by women, if pages like these that always go and steal my older self-portraits and other works... If they just put a link to my prints of those pieces in the text of those posts, or, fuck, my commission info page? I would literally be living on the moon right now. I would have a house on the moon

Miniature portrait of Mariana of Austria

This painting is inspired by some of the portraits of Queen Mariana painted after 1665. Portraits on porcelain plates were common in Spain until the end of the 19th century. It is, therefore, likely that this painting was made in a French workshop, although it cannot be ruled out that it is a Spanish work from around 1900, when portraits of illustrious figures from the past became fashionable and were used to form dynastic ensembles. Its frame follows 17th-century models.

You have been warned

(Btw its nothing bad just silly drawings in your asks, love ur art)

PROJECT???? IN MY ASKS?????? If you can't end up doing it there's no obligation but I'm definitely curious, I shall await your drawings............

(The threatening-but-not-really nature of this ask is cracking me up because for some reason I've gotten like a LOT of vaguely ominous asks in my inbox the last few days and my reaction is always this until I realize it's not actually something to be worried about)
