Stiff Neck
pastel
30.5 x 45.7 cm (12" x 18")


This pose left the model with a stiff neck, hence the title.

Any resemblance between this drawing and David's, The Death of Marat, is purely coincidental (although it's possible that the model, because of the pain he was experiencing, may have felt like he was re-enacting the scene).

(The Death of Marat by Jacques-Louis David is immediately below.)
