Michel I am not really convinced by your picture; too much light to my taste
I join an other picture  a little different from the first one

I am impressed by seing you to undertake the painting of this sort of figure.
It is really a difficult challenge.

That's not slowly that's light speed! I've been working on one of my sleds for 3 weeks!

That one bull or the figure that is face on. The ears are more like a butterfly  I have looked at a lot of  live elephants face on and never seen anything like that . Now before anybody gets up set I am looking at this in real life I like the set and its a nice job. Willie

Wow some of these castings are extremely elaborate!

[Hannibal]

Excellent summary !!! very good postures also, diversified ....
Pity not better known ...
With my poor habit of the shows, I handled the picture a bit .....

Dear all,


there are even more existing but to my knowledge extremely rare. I attach an overlook. Some (many ?) of these being engraved on one side only.


Orginally it was planned to do these in a collaboration between collectors, Gottstein being part of this group.

First go to the figure
Rather hard because parts of the engraving are gone and I have to recreate them with paint
The picture in the Douchkine book helps

Here is Porus
Much better quality than the Carthaginian
Really a nice piece
Very interesting to paint such a frontal figure

I would possibly be interested in the Indian elephants if he's using the molds
