Sir Walter Westley Russell(1867-1949): Life drawing of male model in profile(1932)

Executed in black and red chalk, a technique used by both Rubens and Watteau, this drawing was probably done while Russell was the Keeper of the Royal Academy Schools.In many ways this shows all the qualities of Slade draughtsmanship which Russell imparted to his pupils. The rendering of the arm is beautifully articulated.
