Jan S.



A drawing in pencil and acrylic wash. Jan was a professional model who came to pose for me in my London studio. She is here costumed as the 'Abyssinian maid' from Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem Kubla Khan. Jan was, to put it frankly, one of the most beautiful women I have seen, and she had great enthusiasm and energy for what I wished to express with her character.



"If a man could pass through Paradise in a dream, and have a flower presented to him as a pledge that his soul had really been there, and if he found that flower in his hand when he awoke - Ay! and what then?" ~ Samuel Taylor Coleridge
