Lot description
Evelyn De Morgan, British 1855-1919- Study of an uplifted arm; black and coloured chalks on buff paper, bears initial 'M' (upper left) verso, 34 x 22.9 cm. (unframed / mounted). Provenance: From an album of de Morgan's drawings. Private Collection, UK. Note: The present study is a characteristic example of de Morgan's sensitively shaded drawings, revealing the artist's process as he explores the depiction of bodies in movement, in highly-finished studies not only of full figures, but also of their arms, legs, and hands. Indeed, the artist produced a number of arm studies which resemble the present piece, including a work which sold at Sotheby's, New York, on 30 January 2023, lot 708 ($10,080), and another which sold at Christie's, London, on 13 December 2017, lot 9 (£3,250).
