Maxfield Parrish's work is known by everyone almost on sight, but few know him by name. His calendar and magazine illustrations were so popular they created almost a genre on their own.
Known primarily for his images of women, usually in togas or nothing at all, we're going to do a 21th-century PC turn on things and start with an image of a man. Do what you will with this image, but keep it in the Parrish mode. Add a toga, faerie wings, or satyr hooves, or anything else you feel is appropriate, but remember his images were known for their wonderful use of color.
Here's some reference material
