"Man's Portrait, Three Quarters View, " Powerful Drawing by Leon Kroll
About the Item
This strong and compelling portrait of a young man with chiselled features was drawn by Leon Kroll, WPA muralist and accomplished painter who normally favoured female subjects. Kroll studied under John Twachtman in New York and Jean-Paul Laurens in Paris, before teaching at the National Academy of Design, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and elsewhere. He was a good friend of George Bellows, and painted murals for the Department of Justice Buildings in Washington, D.C. This portrait is especially arresting, and the sitter's fashionable haircut would suggest it dates to the 1920s or 1930s. (Dimensions include matte and frame.)

Green, Circle of Benjamin BrittenBy John Kenneth GreenLocated in Philadelphia, PAFinely detailed in ink on paper, this drawing of a nude male figure's back side was made by John Kenneth Green, a prolific and successful English artist who is best known for his portraits.

- "Seated Man, Two Positions", Drawing of Half-Nude Male Figure by Ulen, 1930sBy Paul UlenLocated in Philadelphia, PABeautifully and sensitively drawn by Paul Ulen, this single sheet includes two images of a half-nude male figure, seated and reclining, wearing loose worker pants and sporting a fashionable 1930s haircut.

The gridded background suggests that the figures were studies for a larger wall mural, and indeed, a major mural-esque painting by Ulen, "Bricklayer at Rest," perhaps depicting the same model, is also available from Renaissance Man Antiques...Category
