The Wandering Jew

This is a modern interpretation of the biblical character of the Wandering Jew. I'm really interested in the concept of extreme longevity and thousand-year old people walking among us (see also the Count of St. Germain, the Bodhisattvas, Li Ching-Yuen, etc.) and I wanted to show what I would imagine the mythical figure to look like in his current state, doomed to walk the Earth until the Second Coming. I based the overall composition on Gustave Dore's representation.



And I haven't forgotten my painting/drawing a day pledge; I've been busy plugging away and will upload some work by the end of the week.
