Jesus Christ teaching in the temple at Jerusalem. Forty listeners, and no two of them react the same way. Some lean in, some have turned away, some are asleep. That was the part that took the time: a crowd is not a texture, it is forty separate decisions about whether to believe what is being said. I worked on this drawing across three years, alongside everything else. It was never the piece I sat down to finish. It was the one I returned to. Pencil on paper, 42 x 59.4 cm. Framed. One of a kind, signed, with certificate of authenticity.
