Literature
W. Michel, Wyndham Lewis: Paintings and Drawings, University of California Press, Berkeley and Los Angeles, 1971, pl. 39, no. 384, illustrated

On returning from the First World War, the years 1919-20 saw a period of intensive life-drawing from Wyndham Lewis, often of the nude. Some of these were reproduced in his 1919 portfolio, Fifteen Drawings, and this is likely part of the same series.

We are grateful to Paul Edwards for his assistance in cataloguing this lot.
