To me in my sorrow God has led you, like an angel

Description

This is based on a scene in Verdi's opera Don Carlo (or Don Carlos, in the original French), or it could also be from the original Schiller play Don Karlos, Infante von Spanien.

Crown Prince Carlos is distraught after his father, King Philip II, marries the woman he was to have married himself, Princess Elisabeth de Valois of France. His friend Rodrigo, Marquis of Posa, shows up and simultaneously comforts him and tries to take his mind off of his troubles by encouraging him to help free some oppressed people over in Flanders. (They're being oppressed by Carlos's father, so this is going to get awkward.)

Whether Carlos is being snuggly or just pathetic in this pose is up to you. I prefer both.

Also: SHOE BUCKLES. omg.

Drawn on my grandfather-in-law's desk. I'm not pretending I'm any kind of good at this but it was fun. Maybe some day I will have the time to get better.
