Study For Athens Academy
Description: Two women look at fashion plates, young models lounge for the artists.

Artist Comment: This is a half-scale study for an 18" x 18" oil painting, in graphite and conte. I liked this composition. I am a big fan of intersecting lines that create surface complexity. In the actual painting, I replaced the high left stairway with a large complex of buildings and trees. This was a bisecting structure across the lines of the left column, of course.

Size: 9" x 9" incl. frame

Frame: Cheap black 3/4 inch frame from Amazon, with glass.

Price And Availability: Yes
