Apres Holbein



I had been looking at Holbein's Christ Entombed, and found myself wondering about applying a similar format to some contemporary figures. This is a drawing I prepared at the time.

Sadly, I never managed to fit the completed painting into my schedule. Perhaps it's for the best; ideally, I would have needed to do at least four of them. Stacked above one another on the gallery wall, the effect would have been fairly unsettling.

Another time, perhaps.

The drawing is just shy of life size, on mylar.
