Josie 1892

"Josie", a 1892 graphite drawing by American artist Arthur Bowen Davies, depicts two lionesses in profile. The quick and gestural lines of the sketch convey a sense of energy and movement, capturing the animal’s powerful presence. Davies was known for his impressionistic style, as well as his use of line and color. This sketch is a wonderful example of Davies's talent for capturing the essence of his subjects.
