Naive Graphite Portrait of Mrs Eli Frederick Moses, 1911 clay flowers after I’ve rejected so many

after I’ve rejected so many

making me think whoever made this was an artist of note

this wonderfully tender gesture of interlocking arms at the very center of the image

Naive Graphite Portrait of Mrs Eli Frederick Moses, 1911 clay flowers after I’ve rejected so manyWhat really does it for me on this one is the beauty mark just to the left of Mrs. Eli Frederick Moses' eye! I love the line drawn between that eye and eyebrow, too, which together with all of her jewelry and flourishes makes her feel pretty fancy. Drawing by young girls attentive to the fashions of ladies of their day seem to be finding me lately, which I love as a genre for the sort of dreamy future aspiration they represent. 11" x 6 3 4", graphite
