Study for "Chinese Information Travel"—Man with Bow 1980

This 1980 pencil drawing by Larry Rivers is a study for his larger work "Chinese Information Travel", a piece that explored themes of travel and intercultural exchange. The drawing depicts a man with a bow, riding a horse and the use of pencil creates a sense of movement and dynamism. The artist's characteristic loose and gestural style is visible, suggesting the dynamism of the final work.
