This is the finished drawing of the rough layout from my last blog. As with all drawings of a rather abstract nature it can be read in many ways. My neighbour, without knowing the subject, only saw the face of a woman's agony as she drowned. Her vision was arrived at through only seeing the woman's face and the immense sea of blue. She did not see the mans face until I pointed it out and did not know what the inspiration for the subject was.

The subject is from a photo I took a few years ago at the Loggia dei lanzi, in Florence, of The Rape of the Sabine Women by Jean de Boulogne's, better known as Giambologna , 1583 (Thank you Wikipedia).
