This drawing is based on an enormously famous painting by the great Raphael from the sixteenth century that was caused people to enter a stage of religious ecstasy when they first were exposed to it. In my drawing, I'm attempting to get to the essence of the relationship between the mother and child, with as few lines as possible. 

This piece is part of my upcoming exhibition – The Faces of CHiPs - What if God lived in Gowanus? – a series of studies and portraits of the people of CHiPs, a soup kitchen/residence that has served my neighborhood for 50 years. All proceeds from sales of paintings and prints will be donated to CHiPs to further their mission.

The original is 17" x 14".
