	A student of Leon Bonnat and of Peder Severin Krøyer, Tom-Petersen was an award-winning graduate of The Royal Academy of Arts in Copenhagen. He exhibited widely, both nationally and internationally, including at Malmö, Paris, Munich and Brighton. Our pen and wash drawing is a superb academic record of Bertel Thorvaldsen's monument in St. Peter's, Rome. To the left is the Allegory of Faith, to the right, that of Wisdom.
