Here’s my latest illuminated page, a contemporary one this time. This lady was a life-drawing model at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam when we were lucky enough to visit last year. I thought at the time that she would make the perfect subject for a painting – it’s just taken me a long time to complete the work!
So, here she is, full size. I hope you like her.
