the title character from ‘Eugene Onegin’, the opera by Tchaikovsky (to a text by Pushkin) - here shown facing a quartet of female admirers with suitably aristocratic airs, not to mention eccentric hair. The complete image is three times as tall, and goes right up to a decorative chandelier; it was created for my ‘Mariinsky’ exhibition at Symphony Hall, Birmingham, in 2006
