Rachel Lindsey Clark
KNEELING GIRL WITH THE PLAIT
"The girl with the plait was inspired by an evening of a drawing a much sought after model named Francesca Cluny. Better known under the moniker ‘Floor length Frankie’. For her first quick poses her hair was wound around her head in the manner of a Victorian lady and her pale face was that of an English rose. After the break she returned, to gasps from us all, having let down her magnificent plait that almost touched her ankles. I made several quick sketches and my ‘Lock-down’ wax models are from both real and imagined poses."
