An Intimate, 1940s Modern Portrait Drawing of a Young Woman by Notable Chicago Artist, Harold Haydon (Am. 1909-1994). A finely drawn, introspective portrait in pastel and charcoal of the artist's wife, Virginia dating from 1943. Artwork size: 14 1/2 x 11 1/2 inches (sheet size- artwork is unframed and unmated).

Harold Emerson Haydon was born in 1909 in Fort William, Ontario, Canada. He moved to Chicago with his family in 1917 and became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1941. Haydon attended the University of Chicago Lab School and the University of Chicago, where he earned a Bachelor’s Degree and Master’s Degree in Philosophy.
