William Dring
approx. exposed area of image inside frame
15in h x 9in w
red chalks on paper
£150 framed
Item number 7355
Seated lady with her arms folded and fingers interlocked William Dring was a master draughtsman who had the ability to capture an image with a few lines of pencil and 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. In this red chalk drawing the emphasis of the work is the hands and drapery of the clothes which are finely drawn and shadowed giving great depth to the picture.
