I spent a fine morning at Vaux-le-Vicomte, the château of Nicolas Fouquet, Marquis de Belle Île, Viscount of Melun and Vaux. The great estate has magnificent gardens and statues. I was drawn to this statue, where a light early morning fog seemed to enhance the distance. This colored pencil sketch is a preliminary for a possible painting, and allowed me to explore the hues, soft morning light, and values of the view. As such, it is available for purchase at auction, flaws and all. The piece is 7" x 5", on paper mounted to a sturdy Letramax single-weight illustration board.
