This graphite drawing, "Lord Oxford," depicts a seated figure of the British statesman and Liberal Party leader Herbert Henry Asquith. The drawing was created by British political cartoonist David Low, who was known for his satirical and often critical depictions of politicians. This drawing, though, is a more naturalistic portrait than Low's typical work. Low’s signature appears in the lower right corner. The drawing shows the subject in a relaxed posture, but the lines of his face convey seriousness and thoughtful deliberation. The image also shows the influence of realist techniques in Low's work.
