Editor: Here we have an undated pencil drawing of a Venus figure by Prince Hoare. It feels like a study. What do you see in this sketch? Curator: The delicate pencil work is noteworthy. Observe how Hoare uses line variation to suggest form and volume, particularly in the rendering of the drapery and the subtle modelling of the figure's torso. The composition, too, directs the eye upward in a spiral. Editor: I see that now. It's all about the line and the way it leads you around the figure. Thanks! Curator: Precisely. The economy of line is very effective; it is a valuable lesson in understanding the relationship between form and representation.
