About this work

This is a quick pencil drawing by George Chinnery. It shows a man leaning over with his hands clasped behind his back. The man stands barefoot, his head bent low. Chinnery made this study in 1852. It’s one of many quick sketches he used to practice figures. You can almost feel the weight in the man’s pose. Look up George Chinnery next.
