Stir of Shadowed Melodies

Arthur B. Davies

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a group of figures. The drawing features several figures in various poses, some standing and others seated. The figures are rendered with fluid lines and washed ink that gives a soft quality to the composition. The shading is minimal, enhancing the sense of lightness and movement within the group. The lines convey interaction between the figures.
