Vertumnus and Pomona




Vertumnus and Pomona
Another of my sketches of a sculpture done earlier this week at the Victoria and Albert Museum. This sculpture is by Laurent Delvaux around 1725. I’m not sure what drama is being played out, though I think they are Greek gods.

Peasant Woman Nursing Baby


I was at the Victoria and Albert Museum this morning sketching sculptures. The sketch here is of a sculpture by Aime- Jules Dalou (1836-1902).
One of my favorites at the V&A.

The Bather




The Bather

Sketching sculptures at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a sketch of Albert Toft’s sculpture “The Bather” (1915).
I should have started a little smaller, to get all of her on the page.
