"Nudes with Column, " Art Deco Pastel by Lewis

About the Item

Suffused with a golden glow, this depiction of several nude males carrying a column has a sweetness and naivete that is charming. The juxtaposition of a winged horse and a man about to chisel an unseen stone give it a surreal quality. The artist inscribed it as follows: "Drawn especially for Alton Marquis."
