About this work

This drawing shows a loose, sketchy figure with big, round shapes for a head and limbs. The lines are uneven, almost like quick scribbles, with some areas filled in with dark patches. A long, thin line runs through the middle, connecting the shapes in a way that feels off-balance. The artist left the paper mostly bare, letting the white show through. This makes the dark marks stand out even more. The signature in the corner says "Chavignier." Look up Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of this artist’s work in person.
