A drawing by Ghislaine Howard is currently on view at Manchester University's Whitworth Art Gallery as part of the exhibition ‘The Death of the Life Room’ that celebrates the tradition of life drawing and includes works by Edward Burne-Jones, Barbara Hepworth, Henry Moore and David Hockney.

Ghislaine is pictured with her daughter Cordelia and grandson Bryn in front of the drawing, which is now in the gallery's collection. She made the drawing in 1987 as she was feeding Cordelia, who was then just a few months younger than Bryn is now. 

The exhibition runs until January - read more here
