Triptych of Davids – Harvard Staff Art Show

Three panels, each showing a standing male figure. Two are interpretations of Michelangelo's David, the first in earth tone pigments and the second collaged from leaves. The third is an earth tone pigment sketch of a friend named David in a similar pose to Michelangelo's, but giving a thumbs up and smiling at the viewer over his shoulder.
