                   Rather than using the original  arrangement of images, I  will re-configure the forms into 
               a new composition. I will try to include all of the basic subject matter, color, and chiaroscuro.
               My reasons for deviating from my normal copying approach is an attempt to give the figures
               more presence. The power of images are altered when reduced in size. The  museum rules
               that  copys not  exceed 40" is only problematic when there is a great disparity in size.
