One morning, upon entering the Sainsbury wing, far down the road of my new life as the most hardcore of National Gallery drawing regulars, I came across a frail and deflated, elderly visitor on a bench, darkly winter-dressed during the sunniest UK May on record. The impression was that she had elected to come here and to perish at The Nativity of Piero Della Francesca.

As I rudely drew this moving happenchance, an on-duty guard, familiar to me, enquired in the moment as to whether I had purposely set the scene, such was its unlikelihood. I have spotted the frail visitor since – before our COVID-19 times at least – slightly more buoyed and composed, but this did not alter the affect of that sombre, serendipitous moment.

Please get in touch with any further questions on this drawing.
