Excellent! I could tell the style right away, but you've definitely put yourself into it.
:iconjeccmatrix:
this is carvaggio? looks more like a mannerist's style, like Rosso Fiorentino. the right thigh seems a little cut-off, chiaroscuro could use a little more work like in the right shoulder blade area. great drapery and i like the checkered tiles and black background to contrast the depth of the boy and the drapery.

i should've been clearer, the intention was never to imitate caravaggio's style, more like, to let it impress into my psyche and then paint in a reasonably approximate(insofar as bounds of realism) trajectory with personal mood, cognition, etc...

Thanks for the comment!
