This is my mother, drawn by my father. Years ago, I took it out of his sketch book and had it framed, and now it sits beside my desk. I often focus on the round buttons and the round brooch on her dress.
The sketchbook dates from about 1942/43. This portrait is a very close likeness, as once observed by a visitor who saw the drawing and then a photo of Mum at about the same age.
I absolutely ADORE all of your old photographs and drawings. You are so lucky to have all of these memories!
Corrie, I’m so glad you like them. Thank you for your compliment.
I have a similar drawing of my mum, dont know who drew it though. Like you I treasure it. Very good picture and luv it. 😉
Thank you cobbies69. I’m very interested to read that you have a drawing like mine. Portraits must have been more the thing during the war years. I’ve never had a portrait done of myself, but perhaps I’ve never met an artist who wanted to draw me. My father stopped all his creative work shortly after the war.
