My teabag art for today is the Statue of David In Florence, Italy

My teabag art for the day.  David is a masterpiece of Renaissance Sculpture created in marble between 1501 and 1504 by Italian artist Michelangelo.  david is 5.17 metre (17 ft) marble statue of a standing male nude.  The statue represents the Biblical hero David, a favored subject in the art of Florence.

I'll have to say that I didn't realize it was so tall, but the detail is unbelievable right down to the veins, muscle, bone structure and fingernails.  This used teabag was primed with white gesso and painted with gouache.  Details added with black permanent ink pen.
