Abraham Walkowitz

Life Study
1895–1905

A pencil drawing of a male figure viewed from behind, standing with hands clasped behind his back. The figure is rendered with detailed shading, highlighting the musculature and contours of the back. The paper appears aged with some discoloration and creases. There is text at the bottom left that reads "ADMITTED TO LIFE; ADMITTED TO PAINTING," and an artist's signature at the bottom right.
