Girl in Chair with Long Arms and Intense Gaze, Antique Child's Graphite Drawing modern vase You know I love aThis one I found along with another, just listed, signed by a young Maud Ryan in 1900, and I'd guess Maud drew this one as well. While drawn with a bit of a light hand, for me this has a wonderful intensity about it looks to me like this girl's eyes could burn holes straight through whatever she was facing! I really love the rendering of her exposed wrist, too conveying a sense of sleeves too short for the ever lengthening arms of a growing girl.
