This is one of my favourite Holbein drawings, which I come back to again and again...
A few simple lines, a hint of coloured crayon, and a life story unfolds before your eyes...
As Leonardo da Vinci said, Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.
And Holbein's drawings have an elegant simplicity and honesty that speak to me much more than any of his celebrated oil paintings. They feed and nurture my Soul...
Sharing with Becca at Nurturing Thursday.
