Robbie Wraith R.P.
Can you imagine Her Majesty the Queen waving her handbag in Sotheby's to bid £9m for a Hirst pill cabinet? Of course not! This is the difference between "old money" and the nouveau riche. Genuine patrons of the arts employ talent when they find it. So it's a privilege to show you a drawing by a British artist whose work is of such high quality that he has received commissions from members of the Royal Family: Robbie Wraith R.P.. Look at his Marina 2, soft, subtle, superb. I didn't choose this portrait to represent Robbie's body of work; I just fell in love with it. Would it be out of place on a wall between portrait drawings by Michelangelo and da Vinci? Only if the frames clashed. Click the title link to view more of Robbie's wonderful draughtsmanship.

It is DIVINE, and I really enjoyed looking at his work via your link. Thanks. So inspiring.
Yes. "Divine" is the word I was looking for. It's a timeless Madonna that one of the old masters could have sketched. Traditional tools too: red chalk and pencil, I guess.
Glad I finally came up with a piece of art to stop you groaning! More to come....
