Fabric Tower

These fabrics are piled up by the staircase in Angela's house. I was drawing them whilst the sun burst through an open window with the very long lace curtains blowing in the breeze. I was trying to finish the drawing before everyone returned from a tennis game in the next village. Angela had told me that she had obtained the revolving rack the bundles of fabric were stored upon from the drapery department of Dickin's and Jones. Each of the bundles is in fact an antique french bed spread and has a beautifully written label attached to it with string. I made two of these drawings and one of them I gave to Angela when I left. Whilst I drew a mouse came and watched me.
