Pallas Athene

Posted by Konrad on 14 Aug 2021, 15:09

I have always admired the Pallas Athene fountain in Vienna.
What a work of art!
Now I have found this figure in 54mm.
She's not exactly the same, but I just liked her.
This time a non-military issue.

When I look at her - she has eyes
like Barbra Streisand and a nose like Steffi Graf. :-D

For everyone who may not yet know the fountain

Cleopatra's nose would have been more time period related! Excellent work Konrad! I love your painted lady! :love: :thumbup:

Lovely figure, Konrad, my friend. And it has a special meaning for me since the name of the High School where I work is precisely Athena (Atenea in Spanish). :-D

Best regards. :thumbup:

She looks a bit shocked! Maybe she wasn't ready for all of us looking at her. Or maybe you tickled her while painting. Anyway, nice to see! Very happy that you seem to be better now!
