The character I chose was Drowne himself. From the beginning Drowne struck me as artist. An artist who wasn't only in it for the money. Sure when Caption Hunnewell came to him for a job the caption offed money, but as Drowne carved out the image. He began to see that the image was special. The image had a life of it's own. The aura around it was so vexing that men marveled at it's beauty. The passage when Caption Hunnwell suggested that it not be painted, and Drowne said that it must. Showed me that Drowne wasn't willing to cheapen an image, because the man who hired him didn't originally want it painted. The other thing I liked about Drowne is when Copley suggested that Drowne bring the image to England to make a fortune. Drowne said no. He didn't want money for the image. That is why I chose Drowne. He is a good character to stand behind.
