Sargent copy

This is a sketchbook copy after Sargent's portrait of Beatrice Townsend. The more full-body drawing was done with the sketchbook lying on the table (because I'm an idiot), so everything's a little bit elongated. I'm pretty happy with the face study though, I think I got a handle on the facial features (particularly the nose) much better in that one than the full-body version. Graphite on paper.
