1928
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Herodias: Page 55, Cul-de-lampe is a 1928 by William Walcot, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a woman lying down with her head turned slightly to the side. Her hair is drawn in quick, tangled lines, and her body is covered by a loose, flowing cloth. The background is filled with messy, swirling marks that look like wind or movement. The title *Herodias* hints this might be a biblical figure, but the drawing feels more like a quick study than a finished work. The loose lines and shading give it a sketchy, almost restless energy. If you like this style, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art for more works by the same artist.
