The court artist mocked for her curmudgeonly drawing of Tom Brady has done her redemption sketch.
Jane Rosenberg’s new portrait of the embattled New England Patriots
quarterback is a far cry from her viral sketch of the gridiron superstar
during his first appearance in Manhattan Federal Court over the
DeflateGate scandal.
That sketch made the handsome four-time Super Bowl champion appear 50 years his senior — and left Rosenberg on the receiving end of countless online jeers.
But the court artist with 35 years of experience remained undeterred, and sketched a portrait of Tom Terrific over two days.
“I still found him very hard to draw — from a photo as well,” the
sketch artist said. “Something subtle goes on with his eyes. He has a
big chin with a cleft in it.”
Rosenberg’s first drawing of Brady sitting in Judge Richard Berman’s courtroom lit up the Internet.
“(Brady is) in my dreams, it’s a nightmare for me,” Rosenberg said. “I hope this thing gets settled and is over with.”
Whether that will happen remains a mystery. Both Brady and NFL
Commissioner Roger Goodell will again appear before Berman at 11 a.m. on
Monday.
The judge has said he prefers the sides reach a settlement in the court
case stemming from Goodell’s four-game suspension of Brady for the
deflation of footballs in last season’s AFC Championship game.
Rosenberg will be there.
“There’s a lot of pressure on me. A lot of eyeballs on me. I just hope
my hands can move, period. I know I’m not going to have any sleep
tonight,” she said. “I still might blow it; anything could happen.”
