The Study of Sherlock

(Sherlock's Study, C.nick Arach, 2010)

This sketch is from the "Musgrave Ritual" a short story from "The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes". It depicts Sherlock's study as described by Watson in the beginning of the story:

"But with me there is a limit, and when I find a man who keeps his cigars in the coal-scuttle, his tobacco in the end of a Persian slipper, and his unanswered correspondence transfixed by a jack-knife into the very centre of his wooden mantelpiece, then I begin to give myself virtuous airs. I have always held, too, that pistol practice should be distinctly an open-air pastime, and when Holmes, in one of his queer humors, would sit in an arm-chair with his hair-trigger and a hundred Boxer cartridges, and proceed to adorn the opposite wall with a patriotic V. R. done in bullet-pocks, I felt strongly that neither the atmosphere nor the appearance of our room was improved by it."

That's it for now,
