Details 1182

Details 1182

One might have thought that the Details devotees had received enough punishment over the Christmas period searching for image number 9, the Rodin sketch. Apparently not, as were are once again presented with sketch/study/drawing of an infant. It was pointed out to me by a correspondent that number 9 in the Christmas Competition and indeed last week's Bronzino are not in fact paintings, yet Ms Gilbert continues to refer to them as paintings. At least this week's painting (which it is not) is not held in the Art Institute of Chicago.

The elusive detail number 9 in the Christmas Competition was from the drawing below.

I believe that the full result will be published next Sunday.
 

Details returns to normal

After the challenge of the 16 detail Christmas Competition which lingered long after Christmas, we return to the more sedate single detail weekly puzzle. I wonder if others have noticed that there are more details from 19th and 20th centuries and very few now from the Renaissance period.
