1895
graphite
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Panther and Young Lion Studies is a 1895 graphite by Arthur Bowen Davies, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows two animals—one looks like a panther and the other a young lion. The lines are loose and quick, almost like scribbles. The panther is on the left, its body stretched out, while the lion sits below it, its head tilted slightly. The artist labeled the panther and wrote "Young lion" next to the other, along with "1 yr old." The paper looks worn, with some smudges and faint pencil marks. If you like this sketchy style, check out Impressionism.
Arthur Bowen Davies (September 26, 1862 – October 24, 1928) was an avant-garde American artist and influential advocate of modern art in the United States c. 1910–1928.
