Portrait Drawing of a Man at a Desk in India Ink on Tan Paper
Figurative drawing of a man at a desk by Jerry O'Day (American, 1912). The man is seated, about to pick up a pen. His features are somewhat exaggerated, showing foreshortening in the arms and legs. This piece is executed with confident strokes but nonetheless feels loose and playful.
Signed in the bottom right corner, "Jerry O'Day."
