Description: Click an Image to See it Full-size Details Payment Shipping Terms of Sale View in Room Description A wonderful example of Lawrence's skill as a draughtsman, this study of a pretty little girl in a new pink dress displays his confident mastery of line work. The deft lines of the girl's legs and arms and the economy of line in the child's faces add mystery and flare to this wonderful study. Rendered in a mix of graphite and gouache, this piece has been presented in a vintage wood frame with an off-white mount. On wove. Condition The condition is typical for a picture of this age including discolouration and areas of dirtying. The paper has heavy creasing to the upper left corner and a softer crease across the lower third. There is some creasing and a tear to the paper in the lower left quadrant. The frame is in fine condition.Collection Information Sulis Fine Art is delighted to present a small fine collection of original works, mainly figure studies in graphite and chalk, by the artist Alfred Kingsley Lawrence RA (1893-1975).Biography Alfred Kingsley Lawrence RA (1893-1975) was a painter and muralist, born in Lewes, Sussex.

Sulis Fine Art traces its origins back four generations. Benjamin Diamond opened a picture framing factory in Midtown Manhattan in the early 20th century. Originally known as Royal Art, the business worked closely with artists and museum institutions, developing a reputation for creating fine frames. Royal Art passed through the family and eventually evolved into Sulis, now run by Benjamin's grandson Bill, and his son Dan. Based in the South West of England, we source art from across the British Isles and ship worldwide. We handpick all our stock and we've grown into a ten-strong team of art historians, photographers, restorers, studio technicians and despatchers. We relocated to our Corsham studio in early 2020, leaving behind our small garden workshops in Bradford-on-Avon that had been our base for several successful years. Now located on the edge of the Cotswolds, our current home allows the team to work alongside our large catalogue of artworks, allowing us to provide you with fast global shipping and top-notch customer service. We are always striving to connect people with the art they love. Each week we add new artworks to our extensive catalogue, across all styles, subjects, colours and periods. At the heart of Sulis, we rescue and restore lost and forgotten works, giving you the opportunity to find unique pieces and discover art in a new and different way. View All Artworks View More -->
