My final painting of Rupert Everett's portrayal of Sherlock Holmes, done for February's E-Caricatures challenge.
I wanted it to feel like a Victorian portrait, and it is largely based on a painting by John Singer Sargent (hence the apology at the bottom).
and some stages

Terrific Euan...love the "vintage" look!
nice color scheme on this!
Como sempre: ESPETACULAR!
Parabéns e muito sucesso para você!
Excellent painting !
Everett nailed both the physicality as well as the body language of Holmes perfectly !
It is a shame that Rupert Everett's Holmes is so criminally underappreciated. :(
Thank you very much.
Given that he only had one outing as Sherlock Homes, and that the story itself (not a Conan Doyle) was a tad underwhelming, I think Everett's portrayal of the character ranks amongst the best.
I totally agree about the body language - he was like Sydney Paget's illustrations come to life.
You are very welcome !
I agree totally about the underwhelming story and the unfortunate fact that Everett got only one outing as Holmes.
Still, he made a near-perfect Holmes !
Have you seen the Russian adaptation with Vasily Livanov as Holmes and Vitaly Solomin as Watson..
