Eric Gill made this wood engraving in 1932. It shows an artist in a quiet indoor space, working beside a mirror. The image feels private and still. Gill was also a sculptor and author. His work appears on big buildings like Westminster Cathedral. His life took a dark turn after a biography revealed troubling secrets. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
