Standing small before the Pergamon Altar friezes in Berlin, hands at sides, bag dropped on the marble floor, battling gods overhead Sketchbook 45 spread: sanguine and watercolor study after a baroque abduction scene — bare legs kicking free of red drapery at left, the rest of the group in faint red outline at right Black-and-white X-ray of a curved spine and ribcage in profile — the scoliosis made visible Sketchbook 46: graphite study on orange paper of a marble male torso from behind, headless and armless on its museum mount An antique red-and-gold binding of Vecellio's Costumes Anciens et Modernes given new blank pages — old spine, bare label panel, fresh paper inside Roma sketchbook: brush-pen sketch after Bernini's Rape of Proserpina — her raised arm and turned head, his fingers pressing into her hip The vine in leaf, whole: leafed stems hold the rim and grip the base ring, tendril curls reaching from the mid-height stems, all in verde antico against the pale vessel.
