Beautfiul indeed ...and nowhere near as dodgy as the illustration from Rubens used in the wikipedia page you pointed to!
Yep. The Rubens is appallingly, teeth-grittingly, turn-awayingly embarrassing. It's got all the vices and none of the virtues of those gloriously dodgy covers of 1960s sci-fi magazines...
I particularly like the reservoir tip effect on the quiver...
That is a highlight, yes.
What about same effect on his 'Phrygian cap'? Now THAT'S dodgy.
