Editor: This is William Marlow’s sketch of St Germain en Laye. The pale sepia ink gives the whole scene a hazy, dreamlike feel. What do you notice in this drawing? Curator: I love how Marlow captures the essence of a place with such economy of line. It feels like a memory, doesn't it? It's more than just topography; it hints at the layers of history embedded in the landscape. The buildings almost seem to whisper secrets. Editor: That's a lovely way to put it. It makes me want to time travel. Curator: Exactly! Art can be a portal if we let it.
