one of alfred stevens' beautifully drawn sketches in a small exhibition currently on show at tate britain , well worth finding downstairs for the light that letters and drawings throw onto the relationships between artists and their models.

marita ross, known as angel face, an understandably successful early c20 artists' model who is one of those at the centre of a tate britain exhibition about life drawing. the simple sculptural forms of her body inspired many sculptures, and the experience of sitting for many well known artists is expressed in letters and even a poem from the archives.

death and the maiden, a typical sex-and-death drawing by felicien rops, late c19. from an exhibition of the richard harris collection of artefacts illuminating attitudes towards death.
