This is also from a photo I took at "Tutankhamen: His Tomb and Treasures" some years ago. I had to stand to one side so my reflection didn't confuse the picture, so it's slightly skewed. But this shows what practice will do - a year ago, I wouldn't have attempted something like this!
I've used a bit of body colour so the light blue and light red are closer to right, but I tried to reserve white paper for highlights.

"A cannon from a Civil War battle is history. A uniform worn by somebody at #Gettysburg is history. Jefferson Davis’ desk is history. Robert E. Lee’s sword is history.
