Baby Hutch

Actually, a young David Soul, in graphite . . .

When I first saw the photo on which this drawing was based — a rather grainy, low contrast, black-and-white newspaper clipping — I thought David Soul looked incredibly, impossibly, young in it — 14? 16? Hence the title, “Baby Hutch.” I later found a higher res, color version of the image and learned that it was from 1970 or so, making Mr. Soul 26 or 27 at the time (and looking it). Not so much a baby, after all. But I guess it’s all relative, isn’t it?
