This posted in response to all of those “photo-real” pencil drawings that elicit oohs and aahs throughout cyberspace. Geeking out here for a moment; the side of her nose makes me want to weep.
Thank, Bill.
What always gets me about these Ingres pencil portraits is a wonderful kind of reality-shift — from responding to the face a person one second, and the next being aware that “it’s all lines on paper, folks!” (to paraphrase Robert Crumb).
