Tête de femme regardant vers le bas (Theresa Turner)
John Flaxman, a giant of Neoclassical art, captured his wife Theresa in this tender sketch, showcasing the delicate side of a man famous for grand marble sculptures. Notice how her hair is piled high in elaborate, bouncy curls—a fashionable nod to the classical styles he loved so much. Her downward gaze feels incredibly intimate and peaceful, as if she's lost in a quiet moment of thought. It's a lovely reminder that even the most serious artists started with simple, loving sketches of the people closest to them.
