Figure study, design for sculpture is a 1922 by Lawrence Atkinson, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a half-finished drawing of a broken shipwreck on a beach. The waves crash over the wreckage, which is made of sharp, jagged lines. In the background, a half-built archway stands empty, with a few scattered pieces of wood nearby. The artist used pen and ink to create the texture, layering lines to show light and shadow. It looks like a study for a sculpture, not a finished painting. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of this artist’s work.
