Notes

This painterly drawing explores a grouping of figures and how they move and relate to each other. The outline of the figures expresses the rhythms Hepworth saw within a crowd of people. She is not trying to represent a three-dimensional figure, but the rhythm of a figure in movement among others.

Presented anonymously through the Friends of Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, 1973.
