A Saturday at the Met

Last Saturday my NYC Urban Sketching group went to the Met. I forgot where we were supposed to meet for the first half of the day, so after wandering a bit I settled down in the sunny courtyard in the American wing to draw this golden saint depicted as an angel.

After lunch, it turns out the group was headed for the American wing next so I got to draw this sculpture of "Mourning Victory." I saw her when I was leaving the courtyard to go to lunch and very much regretted not drawing in the first half of the day. So it all worked out!
