I did two sketches today because I just couldn't decide about this character. The costumes I've sketched a very similar, but I'm up in the air about the body type...
Mistress Quickly is one of the funniest characters in Merry Wives. She is Dr. Caius' maid and generally makes a lot of trouble for him...it's great fun really. She is also friendly with Anne Page and is a proponent of Fenton. She also plays a huge part in the finale faerie scene.
As you can see, the costumes are pretty much the same. If she is thinner and younger she'd have a slimmer A-line skirted dress sort of maid's uniform. As a larger, older woman she'd have a blouse and fuller skirt. The older version is a little more disheveled, more pattern on pattern. She's a very comic character and an the older character sketch plays the comedy where as the younger sketch ties her more to Anne as a friend.
Thoughts?
