Sketch & Study from a Master Painting-Female Figure

This is a sketch I did from a painting by French artist, Nicolas-Andre Monsiau. The painting is Zeuxis Choosing his Models. The painting was done around 1797 and is at the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO). The sketch is graphite on paper. I liked the pose of this figure and I might do a similar pose for a new painting. You can click on my site's link to the Art Gallery of Ontario to view the painting.

My sketch is after Van Dyck. Van Dyck was a Flemish Baroque painter who lived in the 1600s. I have mentioned that like the artists before me I study and sketch works by the Masters.

I mentioned in the previous post that as there is no overlap, the warm colour of the background appears to drape over the cool coloured table. Warm colours advance and cool colours recede. I was also interested in painting the luminous grapes.
