Remember back in the day, when museums were open to the general public? At that time the Luce Center, at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in DC, held drawing sessions on Tuesday afternoons. Anyone could come and sketch works in the Luce collection. This is a drawing I made of a 1898 portrait bust of Ellen Goin Rionde by Laura Dreyfus Barney. I tried to make her eyes more lifelike which, I think, gives the sketch an unsettling aspect.
