sketches

This sketch is the seventy-third in a 365-day challenge to draw a picture a day, every day, for a year…

Day seventy-three: This drawing emulates an etching and aquatint print made by Emil Bernard in 1935. It is one is a series of 50 images designed to illustrate Victor Hugo’s poem “Le Fin de Satan.” I ran across a photograph of the print this afternoon while working with the Thrivent Financial collection, and decided immediately that it should be the subject for the drawing of the day.
