Belated GIP, and a request

[capri0mni]

I made this icon a while back, but never got around to uploading it, till today.

(It's a detail from a tapestry frontispiece illustration of Chaucer reading from Troilius and Cressida; this is an audience member)

PS: I so am. Give me a topic (or scene, whatev.) to drabble, please? Will post.

ETA: oops. I just always assumed tapestry...

Sadly, I have no request, just icon love.

Thank you. I've always felt bad for Chaucer in that picture (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/ec/Chaucer_Troilus_frontispiece.jpg), because half the audience isn't even pretending to pay attention...

I like to think it was good preparation for the thousands of high school students who would be reading his works with the exact same expressions in years to come.

I was actually inspired to make this icon by angevin2's "Boring papers make Chaucer sad" one. ;-)

I can totally see that!
