Sister Nathaniel 1972


Here's a bit of relief from Marie Corelli's excesses, from my college days in 1972. I used to hang around with a Catholic special interest group at Jewish Brandeis. Those days were a heavy struggle for me, attracted to Catholic Christianity while in a historically Jewish environment. Every so often people who were, you might say, professionally Catholic like Sisters, Priests, and scholars would visit and give a talk. I don't remember much about Sister Nathaniel but I drew her portrait in my sketchbook.

Pencil on sketchbook page, 4" x 7 1/2", March 12, 1972.
