"Nude Shepherdess, " Art Deco Drawing in Style of Rockwell Kent, Sculpted Frame

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.)

  • "Two Nudes with Columned Facade, " Art Deco Drawing w/ Male Nudes, England
    Located in Philadelphia, PA
    Beautifully drawn, clearly by an important artist, this depiction of two nude male figures sitting in the foreground of a columned facade -- perhaps alluding to the Classical sculpture of ancient Greece -- is not signed, perhaps due to the subtly homoerotic nature of the scene. The two figures have the solidity and gravity of high style Art Deco art, and may represent the academic, early work of a great master such as Glyn Philpot or John Craxton...
