Minerva at Minster Gates, York (WiP 4)
The sculpture of Minerva was part of a makeover for number 1 Minster Gates and the adjoining 38 High Petergate. The 15th century timber frame building was rebuilt as a pair of houses in the late 18th century but the ground floor was made into a shop, the work being recorded as "newly done" in 1804. The shop was the base of a well known seller of books and prints. Part of the original signage survives in the painted window above the door. Drawn with a Staedtler Graphite 0.3mm pencil in an A4 sketchbook.
