Gallery: Plaster Cast
Drawings (continued)
In this charcoal plaster cast drawing on white paper, there is a clean, crisp look due to the firm, hard edge around the entire
drawing and the flat, white background. The very clean look of the drawing shows off the precision of contours and muscula-
ture of the sculpture, and the dynamism of the gesture. It is striking that even though the head, arms, and lower legs are
missing from the sculpture, the drawing emanates power and expressiveness; a true testament to the sculpture as a great
work of art.
