Specialist note

Architectural draughtsman A. G. Rizzoli’s output includes multiple distinct oeuvres created over the course of his life, and each of his drawings corresponds to one of these conceptual bodies of work. One portion of Rizzoli’s art is comprised of portraits of people rendered as symbolic architectural forms called “transfigurations.” The present work renders Mr. Healy as the central, strong tower, while Mrs. Healy is the delicate, curved element on the right of the structure.
