I went to see the Masterpieces from the Uffizi Gallery, Italian Renaissance Drawings at the British Museum last week. The tickets were free, a gift from a client who was unable to go. I went with Alan Nixon, who wanted to see if he could spot any collector's marks that he knew. Drawings I especially liked: Luca Signorelli's Shepherds and an Angel – fabulous expressions. Fra Angelico's beautiful King David. Fra Filippo Lippi's Virgin and Child with Two Angels – everything about this drawing is wonderful.
I used to like drawing - it teaches you to observe the world closely.
