Sketch of cracked stone, Eagle headed genie, alabaster, Assryian, reign of Ashur-Nasir-Pal, ca. 859 BC in Brooklyn Museum

Sketched in the Brooklyn Museum with the Urban Sketchers NYC. My sketch is a detail of the Assyrian relief "Eagle-headed genie between two sacred trees". Alabaster, ca. 883-859 BC, Iraq. Two knives tucked in his garment. I am very interested in sketching low relief sculptures. These Assyrian reliefs are so beautiful. Watercolor and micron pen on Aquaboard panel. 5 x 7"
