Bedroom Scene by William Blake
- Title
- Bedroom Scene by William Blake
- Student Commentary:
- This sketch from The Complete Portraiture of William and Catherine Blake is by William of his wife, Catherine. It appears to be a scene of Catherine sitting on bed getting ready for the day. There is a man lying in the bed next to her, likely Blake. The sketch is very rough and is clearly more of a concept than a detailed portrait of the couple. This intimate scene of the two together in bed expresses how happy they were together. Many sources show how helpful Catherine was to Blake’s works, and this image of a mundane activity emphasizes their closeness. Not available at the William Blake Archive. Consult the book in Schaffer Library for a detailed view of the image.
