Lowe (Lion) Possibly 1920

René Beeh's "Lowe (Lion)" is a dynamic black and white drawing created sometime around 1920, just two years before the artist's untimely death at the age of 36. The loose, expressive lines of the charcoal drawing capture the powerful energy of the lion as it stalks its prey. Beeh's bold use of line and shading gives the image a sense of immediacy and movement. The artist's interest in capturing the essence of animal movement is evident in this powerful yet sensitive depiction of the wild.
