Psyche




Psyche


I sketched more sculptures at the Victoria and Albert Museum this morning. This sculpture in black marble called Psyche is by Francis Derwent Wood.

      I have so many more sculptures to sketch on my list. Maybe i'll go back later in the week.

    Wow! This sculpture sums up "Psyche" so aptly, doesn't it...so insecure, so fragile, so filled with self-doubt...and yes, I feel it all too.
    A universal connection...:)

      I thought so too. I have walked by and admired the sculpture often. I didn’t look at the plaque, to learn more until after I finished doing the sketch.. One of those moments.
      Thank you
