Ned Kelly: Armour costume sketch

This is a copy of an original drawing by costume designer Anna Borghesi for the film Ned Kelly (2003).

The sketch shows Kelly (Heath Ledger) standing in a cage with a lion. He is wearing a long oilskin coat over his armour, while he holds the end of a rifle with his right hand.

It is a dramatic and well-executed picture, in addition to being an effective costume design sketch. Its monochromatic execution, low-level perspective and high contrasting tones all add to the sense of drama in the drawing.
