Sketches for larger drawing of George Fox


Working on a drawing about George Fox, the 17th century founder of the Quaker movement who was imprisoned in the gatehouse of Launceston Castle, Cornwall in deplorable conditions.



Gathering together a few characters to represent a manifestation of evil, affliction, temptation and confusion.



An elderly man stands over George Fox with a friendly hand of compassion on his shoulder.
