Sketches
after the Old Masters

The work below includes study sketches after the old masters. But there is a directness of expression here - something tender yet personal - (at least to my eye), that gives a suggestion of the artist's own persona as she hones her craft.

The following sketches are a selection of items found on the Vetruvius Gallery website as part of a collection of sketches Vetruvius purchased from the Anderson-Garland Auctioneers 'Stella Steyn Studio sale' of Spring 2007 in Newcastle. The sale was by direction of the Artist's nephew.
