About this work

This drawing shows small sketches of old church stonework. There are faces carved into columns, a strange leafy shape on an arch, and crown-like tops on doors and windows. The lines are light and sketchy, like quick notes of what the real carvings look like. The artist focused on details like worn-out faces and fancy crowns—some look angry, others calm. The big sketch in the middle shows a leafy design that looks almost like a monster’s face. If you like this kind of old church carving, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.

Watling

Watling is a quiet mystery—no birth date, no biography, just a name on a few fragile watercolours.
