Artist sketching Edward Onslow Ford (1852-1901)'s The Singer (1889) with John Singer Sargent (1856-1925)'s Mrs Carl Meyer and her Children (1896) in the background - Tate Britain, Feb 2015
Yes, after four and one-third years (roughly the time it would take for a beam of light from Alpha Centauri to reach Earth) Ford's superb statuette is back on display. It's now in the BP Walk Through British Art: 1890 room, close (though maybe not close enough as you'll see) to its companion Applause.
Many more photos will follow, but for now here's a teaser. And if you are the artist in the photo, could you please post your sketches of the statue here as well. Thank you.
