Created by John Duncan, a renowned Scottish artist, this 20.3x12.7 cm artwork showcases his exceptional talent for sketching and illustration. Contained within a sketchbook labeled with the number 13 on its front cover, this particular piece is just one of sixty sketches and illustrations found within its pages. Duncan's writings on tempera paint and artists like Botticelli further demonstrate his deep understanding of artistic techniques. In "The Three Calls of Deirdre" we witness the enchanting tale of Deirdre of the Sorrows come to life. The figures depicted in this drawing are none other than Deirdre herself and her lover Naoise, forever entwined in their tragic destiny.
