About the Item

Bold and full of energy, this pen and ink drawing depicts three nude male figures, their arms upraised, caught in mid pose as they dance across the room. Although it is not signed, this drawing shows the skill and eye of the artist, who captures the musculature and grace of each of his subjects. The artist was English and active in the 1930s.
