Study of The Monument to the Burghers of Calais (1889) by Auguste Rodin – in charcoal.Sketched in October 2021 on paper in the Making of Rodin exhibit.

‘I found the Monument to the Burghers of Calais an incredibly moving piece. Rodin managed to capture the desolation and power of their sacrifice.
It also struck me as a powerful comment on the plight of refugees today.’
