Dying Gaul
ink and charcoal
27.9 x 35.6 cm (11" x 14")

The model for this drawing had a knowledge of art history. This pose was modelled after the Roman copy of the Dying Gaul.

The model had a slightly different hair style from the original Gaul. He did have the same moustache, however.

The original (the Roman copy, that is) is posted below.
