[title not known] 

Editor: This small sketch, of unknown title by the British School, is in the Tate Collections. It's rendered in muted grays, almost ghostly. What strikes you about its composition? Curator: The artist's employment of line and wash creates a delicate, almost ephemeral, quality. Note how the architectural forms are suggested rather than defined, relying on the interplay of light and shadow to establish depth. The skeletal structure suggests a foundational understanding. Editor: So, the lack of detail contributes to its strength? Curator: Precisely. The reduction to essential forms invites the viewer to participate, to complete the image in their mind. Did you notice how the strokes seem to radiate? Editor: I hadn't seen that, but now I do. Thanks for your insights! Curator: A pleasure, I am glad to have been of assistance.
