Man and Portfolio

pastel
64.8 x 49.5 cm (25.5" x 19.5")


You get an impression in this drawing of the intense effort that the model was making to stay still. He was completely focused on maintaining his position, and he was staring intently at some marker in the room to help him do that.

By the way, during the breaks in the drawing session, the model was making his way through some of Nietzsche, adding to my suspicions that models are generally a more interesting bunch than the artists who draw them.
