Editor: This delicate sketch by Charles Martin captures a woman by a window, seemingly gazing out at a moonlit sea. It feels… wistful, almost haunting. What do you see in this piece? Curator: Well, she certainly has a story etched in her posture, doesn't she? Perhaps she is waiting for a ship to return. I wonder what awaits her in that little coastal town. Or maybe it's the artist's story—a fleeting memory captured in swift, elegant lines. Does the drawing speak to your personal experiences? Editor: I hadn’t thought about that… it does remind me of waiting. It felt immediate before, but now it seems more reflective. Thanks!
