Drawing Hand

Famous quotes containing the words drawing and/or hand:

    In the drawing room [of the Queen’s palace] hung a Venus and Cupid by Michaelangelo, in which, instead of a bit of drapery, the painter has placed Cupid’s foot between Venus’s thighs. Queen Caroline asked General Guise, an old connoisseur, if it was not a very fine piece? He replied “Madam, the painter was a fool, for he has placed the foot where the hand should be.”
    Horace Walpole (1717–1797)

    I can nail my left palm
    to the left-hand cross-piece but
    I can’t do everything myself.
    I need a hand to nail the right,
    a help, a love, a you, a wife.
    Alan Dugan (b. 1923)
