Masters/Carl Bloch/Study for Peter Repentant
Scroll or pinch to zoom · drag to look around
Before Bloch etched Peter Repentant, he worked out the pose in pencil. This drawing shows his process: the same bowed head and folded cloak, drawn from a model.
In the upper right corner he drew the hand again, larger, to get it right. Set this beside the etching and you can see which lines he kept.
