Another Herbert Draper painting, one of his more famous, The Lament for Icarus, and a few of his sketch studies. I hope I'm not alone in the fascination of study drawings and how they are instrumental in the architecture and spirit of a painting.

You most certainly are not alone in that fascination, Thom. Any items that provide insight into a great artist's working process is of tremendous value to me.
Alright! Thanks for letting me know that.
You're certainly not alone... On most occasions you posted sketches, I also prefered them to the finished painting...Don't know why... They're kinda more sober than the finished product while being very soulful...Less "pompier".
But I sure love what Herbert Draper did!
