Day two hundred and thirty-two: Designed to continue exploring a classical theme, and to practice line drawing, tonight’s sketch is based on an ancient figure of Eros in flight. The original can be found on an Athenian vase from around 480 BCE, painted by an anonymous craftsman known today as the “Dresden painter.” The vase is at the archeological museum in Florence, Italy. I think my classmate Annie K. may have written a paper that included this vase and figure. Maybe is was another winged fellow. Regardless, today’s sketch is dedicated to her.
