Vanitas with Violin

Description

Oils on panel
16 x 20"
circa 1970's

This is a very early painting in oils. I was just starting to study anatomy from the human skeleton I had purchased.

My brother made violins so I had one of his to use as a reference.

Studying anatomy is essential if one is to know how to draw the portrait and the human figure, but it gets boring after awhile what with the origins and insertions of the muscles according to the bone structure--I had a "flayed figure" to study along with the skeleton. So I'd create fantasy works to keep me interested.
