Sister Wilhelmina

 A Charcoal Drawing

I’ve finished another drawing! This one is compressed charcoal drawing on 6x8 paper. 


Here is some information from Wikipedia about her, Four years after her death, the Benedictine Sisters exhumed Sister Wilhelmina's body on the feast of Louis de Montfort so her remains could be re-interred in their church. The sisters expected to find bones but after a few days of digging, they lifted up the simple wooden coffin and quickly noticed a massive crack down the middle of the lid. The prioress of the order, Mother Cecilia, discovered that their foundress' remains, including her religious habit, were almost perfectly intact."


Thank you for viewing this piece of art work!
