About this work

This pastel and chalk study shows a painter in a dark suit working from a ladder beside a large mural-scale composition of figures. A crowd with raised arms fills the upper half of the sheet, rendered in loose yellow, orange, red and brown tones over a faint squared grid used for transferring the design.
