Commuter

The lone commuter in the silent station that is called, Södra Station, Stockholm , Sweden.

2b, 6b and 9b pencil sketch on Hand.book 14 x 9 cm

A model from 1925

I found a wonderful photo of a nude on the internet, to my surprise I found an original copy on Ebay. I plan to do a large watercolour once I receive the print. The original photo was taken by Heinrich Maass from Berlin and was featured in a book called "Nature & Culture", a collection of nudes of women from different cultures around the world. It was assembled by Dr. Peter Landow in 1924 & 1925.
I used a Cretacolor Monolith 9B  for toning on A4 Fabriano Eco Artist paper.

Drawn from an original photo taken by Heinrich Maass, 1925

Zorn inspired pencil sketch.

I am reading Anders Zorn's self-biography at the moment. Maybe this is why I did this sketch of a nude bathing in water. The reference image I found on the internet, the model's name is Finch Linden.
