This Bargue reproduction was part of the curriculum at the Academy of Realist Art in Toronto.

It took around 50 hours to complete.  There is no smudging in this drawing.  It is all done with extremely sharp pencils and little squiggle lines to get into all the nooks and crannies in the paper.  It was an excellent learning experience!
