About the Item

This dramatic scene depicts two figures: a half-nude woman with staff and wide-brimmed hat -- a modern, adult version of a shepherdess -- along with a reclining male figure. Both figures are dwarfed by an enormous pile of clouds looming over a cluster of pyramids in the distance. This piece was executed in conte crayon by Phil Rhynders in 1942, and is clearly influenced by the dramatic style of Rockwell Kent, whose illustrations and prints were widely known in the 1940s. The drawing retains its antique, sculpted frame with gold finish. (Dimensions include frame.)

By William Littlefield
Located in Philadelphia, PA
A fine and bold drawing by William Littlefield, this piece depicts male and female nude figures in an embrace, the male figure inspired by Nicholas Podiapolski, Littlefield's model and lover in the late 1920s.

This drawing was completed in St. Tropez, during an extended stay in Europe that gave him a close acquaintance with Italian and other classical art. Two years later, Littlefield formed a friendship with Lincoln Kirstein...
