A Tragic Mask of Beethoven

ink and watercolour
11.4 x 8.9 cm (4.5" x 3.5")


On the second floor of Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center in New York there is a cast of Antoine Bourdelle's A Tragic Mask of Beethoven. This particular drawing of the mask was done while waiting for my wife to return from nearby. (Antoine Bourdelle, 1861-1929)
