"Left Jab", Compelling Drawing of Boxer by Luis Mora, Pencil on Paper
About the Item
This lithe portrait of a slim boxer throwing a left jab, executed in pencil on thin paper, was executed by Francis Luis Mora, a rare example of an American artist with Uruguayan heritage. His father came to America to work for the Perth Amboy Terra Cotta Company in New Jersey, and after taking his family to Massachusetts, Luis followed in his father's footsteps, studying with Frank Benson and Edmund Tarbell in Boston. He became known for allegorical murals for the Lynn, Massachusetts Public Library, the dome of the Missouri State House, and the Red Cross building in 1919, along with portraits for the Governor's Mansion of New Jersey. The drawing is signed on the lefthand side.
