Le Temps by Tristan Grindrod. Click for source.

“In our days many women are more concerned with fighting off time instead of Cupid’s arrow.” Those are the words of Australian graphic artist and musician Tristan Grindrod (aka TR¥§T onMySpace, houseoftryst on DeviantArt, and using his own name on Facebook). He is the creator of this image (Le Temps), which is a homage to William Bouguereau’s 1880 painting “Jeune fille se défendant contre L’amour” (Young Girl Defending herself against Cupid). The technique used was a mixture of a graphite sketch, which was scanned and painted in PainterX.
