I do like the painting on the base, and I think the rest of the painting is pretty nice, also. The highlighting on the red of the cloak doesn't quite look up to the standard of the rest, but I know red can be hard to both paint and photograph.
I'm speechless...being a big fan of the old style minis i just love this wonderful miniature.The facial expression alone deserve a 10 in my hopinion,but i really don't like the pattern on the base...so an Average 9.
