Day 0047

I went to the Louvre for the first time today. In grandness, size, and elegance, I have never seen anything like it. I can't begin to comment on the collection yet, as I restricted myself to just a few rooms to start with. But from what I already know is there, I'm inclined to think this might be the greatest gallery on earth. There's certainly nothing in London that can compete, and the Met in New York has none of its refinement, nor the calibre of masterpieces. Very, very excited to be here.

Did another pen and ink drawing, this time after an angel sitting on a cloud by Tiepolo. I'm drawn to it because I caught sight of the Nike at the top of a flight of stairs at the Louvre. Too tired today to do it justice, but can't get the wings out of my head. So a drawing of an angel it is!
