M15338: The Foyer
PrintsFour detailed, formally dressed adults walk through a foyer past one another. Quickly sketched lines add a sense of movement to the print. On the left, two men in suits wearing top hats walk past two women looking downward. The two women formally dressed in floor length dresses, topcoats and top hats walk past the men. A wooden post with four lamps appears behind the individuals. There is no foreground or detailed background, just the individuals passing through the foyer space. Behind the four detailed figures are quickly sketched outlines of three other individuals passing one another, creating a sense of motion.
