In the columned quadrangle behind Pompeii’s small theatre had been placed three bronze sculptures by the late Polish artist, Igor Mitoraj. He drew on classical sources for his bold structures, typically fractured and fragmented to suggest the ephemeral nature of all we build. Here, Teseo screpolato (Cracked Theseus) is shown against the remains of walls hit not only by Vesuvius but much later by Allied bombing.
I have scraped conte crayon over heavily textured stiff paper then used Faber and Castell cool grey brush pens to deepen the tones on the metal surface and brickwork.
My daughter worked on smoother cartridge paper and gained greater depth of colour from the conte crayons. I love the interlocking shapes which build the tones of the bronze face.

You’re a talented bunch in your family!
That’s a lush illustrative style in your drawing and your daughter’s drawing is delightful
These are both excellent. You’ve both placed the sculpture in the landscape expertly and with meaning. I’m liking the addition of the grey pen to the kit.
Your duaghter can tell Picasso to move over! Your drawing great too. The scene reminds me of Shelley’s Ozymondias (spelling?) but with different body parts!
