Really wicked. An unheimlich start to 2024.
As a photograph, as well as a sketch it’s very effective. Please drop her into the Group.

Really nice drawing! Was she perhaps inspired by an Agatha Christie novel?

Thanks.

No. She's a live model, the title came after the capture. Her image and somehow the mood at that time, I'd just finished three sketches of her three different poses, brought to mind Macbeth, Act 4 Scene 1, hence the title.

On the other hand I can't deny a possible subconscious nudge from Agatha, I do have Christie's By The Pricking of My Thumbs on my bookshelf. ;-)

I haven’t read Agatha. I had, in the back of my mind, Ray Bradbury’s Something Wicked This Way Comes, which I’m sure I read in some October Country when I was about twelve. I must read it again.
