New Caricatures

Here are a couple portraits from a project I worked on a few months ago. Unfortunately, it didn't pan out as planned but, in the end it was still fun to do some new drawings, and get some insight into the literary culture of Romania. This first one is of a famous Romanian playwright, poet, journalist, and political commentator; Ion Luca Caragiale (1852-1912).

The next one is of Mihai Eminescu (1850-1889). Regarded as the most influential Romanian poet, he also spent time as a journalist and editor for the newspaper Timpul. Him and Ion Luca Caragiale both belonged Junimea, a literary society, which was an intellectual and political association from Romania.
