fun fact:
digital description:
wall description:
In this drawing, MacMonnies drew not only with the point of his charcoal but also with the side of the stick to create a sense of volume and shading. Such richly tonal charcoal drawings are characteristic of work produced at the Royal Academy in Munich, where this drawing was made.
