Murat

I've painted marshal Murat for the campaign, he had idled in a box for the better part of two years and it was high time to slap some paint on him
The uniform is based on this portrait
 I was doubting between painting or not the mustache that he original mini had sculpted, as in most of his portraits he is clean shaven, however during his reign as king of Naples he sported a nice 'stache for some time so all clear for a touch of facial hair
 See?


Of course the king of glam had to have a fancy entourage so I gave him an exotic mameluke
 Sorry, couldn't help it!
