Description: | pencil drawing
A pencil drawing reconstructing of the appearance of Bishop James Kennedy based on an examination of his skull.
In 'Bishop James Kennedy: An Anthropological Study', p.81, Waterston refers to Murray as 'a skilled and well-known artist whose anatomical drawings have gained world-wide recognition for their accuracy and artistic qualities, and whose training has given him special knowledge of the relation between the form of the skull and the contour of the face and head'. He notes 'Mr Murray studied the skull itself, as well as photographs and orthogonal tracings made from it, and after several preliminary sketches produced the two drawings, one in profile, the other a three-quarter view'.
This drawing is the one in profile: the other is in the vestry of St Salvator's Chapel. | Publisher: | University of St Andrews | Rights holder: | 47795 | Subjects: | FOUNDER PORTRAIT EXCAVATION BISHOP drawing TOMB CHAPEL SKULL bone RELIGION ANATOMY RECONSTRUCTION ANTHROPOLOGY | Temporal: | 1930/1931 | Source: | University of St Andrews | Creator: | MURRAY, Jas T. | Identifier: | HC243 | Language: | en-GB |
