Study for "Inlet" 1984 - 1985

"Study for 'Inlet'" is a 1984-1985 graphite drawing by the British artist Graham Nickson (1946-). The drawing depicts a couple on a beach. The woman is standing, pulling her towel over her head, while the man bends over, putting on his shorts. The minimal detail and muted tones of the drawing create a sense of intimacy and vulnerability. It serves as a study for Nickson's larger work "Inlet", which explores themes of human connection and the complexities of relationships.
