Strange Hair

ink and charcoal
30.5 x 22.9 cm (12" x 9")


The model's hair isn' t the only strange thing in this drawing. One of the model's feet is resting above the other, but what is it resting on? It was actually resting on the same flat pedestal the model is sitting on; but the view of the feet seems to imply a different perspective from the rest of the figure. The confusion probably could have been avoided by indicating more of the pedestal, which would have at least given the viewer a clearer idea of the artist's viewpoint and perspective.
