Eye Candy for Today: Adolph Menzel graphite drawing [feedly]

Carl John Arnold, Adolph Menzel, pencil drawing

In the Morgan Library and Museum, use Zoom tab or download link.

Menzel gives us a superbly adept rendering in pencil. The drawing feels at once finished and casual.

Either the subject had a large head, or Menzel — after focusing on the portrait — compressed the figure somewhat to fit it on the paper.

Beautiful, nonetheless.
