"That night the emperor dreamed of love" - The Enchantress of Florence by Salman Rushdie

pescado del dia said...: Ahmed Salman Rushdie (अह्मेड् सल्मन् रश्डि)...

first time that I can see one portrait by Martina.
sorry, don't know who is, but is brilliant!; 09 July, 2009 00:23
Joan Elizabeth said...: Great portrait. I love the wrinkles on his brow.; 09 July, 2009 04:24
AB said...: An interesting face, a well-executed portrait.; 09 July, 2009 06:58
Sean said...: Very nice. Concentrating and expressive!; 09 July, 2009 09:57
Martina said...: joanet, yes, when he became famous around here some decades ago (I think it was Midnight's Children 1981 - a book I highly recommend) we wondered if it is रश्डि oder रूश्डि - one never knows with the English transliterations, ;-).
Anyway, I do portraits of friends and family but I do not post them - I want them to be still friends and family, ;-) - but I took the opportunity last week in Paris to take photos of all the great street perfomers and street artists (and since Sean had his tea break ;-))
This guy was playing the violin in the vicinity of the famous Place du Tertre.; 09 July, 2009 17:32
