About This Item
[Late 1940s]. Watercolor and ink on paper. Image approximately 2 1/3 x 1 1/2 inches, sheet 4 2/3 x 3 1/4 inches. Paper toned, faint one-inch crease at left edge.
An unpublished, unrecorded work, circa late 1940s, of a gentleman walking in night clothes with his eyes closed. The figure is rendered in a style anticipating the look of Mr. Earbrass, the protagonist of Edward Gorey's 1953 first novel, THE UNSTRUNG HARP, and other "Earbrass-type" figures of the early 1950s.
