Achilles, 14 x 18 oil on canvas, framed by the artist

Achilles is a perfect human specimen. I've been exploring societal ideas of beauty recently. This super model, boy wonder struck me, with his perfect bone structure and liquid green eyes.

Probably of conquest and love, just like the rest of us.
