An angel standing with both wings opened right out, eyes closed, holding a star in both hands. This is the page for someone who wants to sit down properly with a pencil: there is a real face, long folds in the robe, and rows of feathers that take as long as you give them. It is also the only sheet here that suits being framed. The christmas candle is there for a shorter sitting.
