Sketch of my ancestor

in #art7 years ago (edited)

This is my drawing of my great-great-great grandfather, Axel Haig, who was one of the foremost etchers in the world at the end of the 19th and early 20th centuries.

And here is one of his etchings of Charles Darwin’s study. Darwin’s son commissioned Axel to create the etching the week after Darwin died.
