Portrait of a young girl standing in a shift with long flowing hair There is a double portrait on the reverse William Dring was a master draughtsman who had the ability to capture an image with a few lines of pencil. 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 pencil portrait captures the character of the girl in simple uncomplicated strokes with shading to give her depth and form. Note the 1920's 30's hair style.
