Because those days I'm quite overworked (and also kind of lazy when I'm finally home), this is an art drop from one of my three visits at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris a few month back.
I love visiting museums with a sketchbook at hand, it forces me to look differently, to look deeper, to look, somehow, more than I do when I'm just strolling around from one painting to another.

Some animals by French sculptor François Pompon.
Young man.
Hermès leaning on a pillar.
Ravachol and Chauchard, two small satirical plaster cast by Fremiet.
A young faun feeding bear cubs.
Bourguereau's Dante et Virgile, which I find incredibly powerful and evocative despite the obvious excess of the composition and the slightly wrong anatomy.
