Dickens - Wallace West

I love a good villain. So when it came to choosing a subject for a Dickens-ian illustration for the CBIG Charles Dickens exhibit at the Yonkers Riverfront Gallery, how could I choose anyone but Madame Defarge from A TALE OF TWO CITES? The predecessor of evil queens and wicked stepmothers as far as I'm concerned.

The Watchful Eye of Madame Defarge
