About this work

This drawing shows two scenes side by side. The left sketch shows a woman pushing away a man in a military uniform who kneels and holds her hand. The right one shows the same kind of man embracing a woman on a sofa. Both pictures play with the push and pull of touch and space. The artist kept the style loose but clear, letting the body language do the talking. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for this work.
