Male model posing
William Dring
approx. exposed area of image inside frame
11in h x 7in w
red chalks on paper
£150 framed
Item number 7375
Male model standing and gripping a pole William Dring was a master draughtsman who had the ability to capture an image with a few lines of chalks. He knew that less was more when drawing the human figure and that detail would be superfluous and unnecessary, an important factor in this fine work. This red chalk drawing concentrates on the shadowing of the figure to give him depth and form. A fine piece of work.
