An arresting study of movement, precision and military history. Woodville’s virtuoso draughtsmanship brings a moment from the Battle of Waterloo into vivid focus.

This large drawing combines closely observed detail with the energy of a battle scene. The contrast between highly finished passages and freer outlines offers a compelling view of Woodville’s working process. The work is presented with further research and documentation available on request.
