Rhapsodies

Today’s sketch is another part of the Seattle Art Museum’s permanent collection; a Chinese statue of Guanyin from between the 10th and 13th century 10th  carved in wood with lacquer, gesso, polychrome and gilding.

I did this one ages ago back when I started doing these things on a regular basis going on the free first Thursdays. It was one of my better ones for the time and for a while I had a copy of it in my portfolio.
