Ysobel: May I make a sketch of Matthew? Marianne wants to know how he looks. She says our descriptions are contradictory. Mother and Father can take it when they visit her. Fiona: Are you any good at drawing? I’d probably make him look worse. Ysobel: My aunt taught me. … Fiona: Are you drawing me? Marianne knows how I look. Ysobel: You’re holding Matt. The secret of a good portrait is that it should show what ought to be remembered about the sitter. Even if they’re not very handsome, they may be clever or funny or loving. If I’d draw Matt’s face in midair, that would be a study of what Father called ‘a curiosity’. But what really matters is that he is your son. Yours and Fergus’. -- source link
