1867
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Study for a figure in 'Israel in Egypt' is a 1867 by Edward John, Sir Poynter, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This drawing depicts a figure, likely male, dressed in a flowing robe with a sash tied around his waist. The figure is shown in profile, facing right, with his left arm bent and his hand holding a horn to his lips. His right arm is relaxed by his side, and his right leg is slightly bent. The figure's facial features are not clearly defined, but his hair is visible, and he appears to be wearing a headband or bandana. The background of the drawing is a light gray color, which helps to highlight the figure's features. The level of detail in the drawing suggests that it may be a study for a larger work, possibly a painting. If you're interested in learning more about the artist's technique, you might want to explore the use of cross-hatching in his other works.
Sir Edward John Poynter, 1st Baronet (20 March 1836 – 26 July 1919) was an English painter, designer, and draughtsman, who served as President of the Royal Academy.
