This is a graphite sketch of a landscape scene. There is a large cloud in the sky. The Sun is still casting the shadow on the bushes in the field.

'Sleeping Centurion,' (c1765) is a preparatory sketch for a sleeping soldier in Ubaldo Gandolfi's fresco of theΒ Resurrection, painted in the eleventh chapel of the Portico di San Luca, Bologna. The fluid brushstrokes achieve a work of intimacy and great charm.

Full frontal 'head and shoulders' portrait of a small dog with a reddish collar.  Maybe a jack russell?  White front, black head with a bit of tan.  Very alert and friendly looking!

What big ears it's got...
