How perceptive of you! Around the time I painted this figure, I started using the color black for the very first time ever, precisely for the purpose you mentioned.
Emperor Augustus: “Varus, give me back my legions!” This defeat is said to have shaken Augustus strongly: he did not shave or cut his hair for several months, and he celebrated each anniversary in mourning.
After the defeat at Kiev in 1941, Stalin emptied his pipe over Kruschev's head, explaining that, in Ancient Rome, it was the custom of a defeated commander to pour ashes over his head.
Looks excellent, Aramis!
Welcome aboard!
Very nice sculpture painting, Aramis @aramissebastian

Great figure, he looks one worried centurion.
To quote Turkish, from the movie Snatch, he's on the lookout for "Zee Germans."
I just hope for his sake he's not looking around in the Teutoburg forest... ;-). Lovely work, Aramis.

And forgive, me 'cause I can't resist . . .
