Acrobats

1913-1914
David Bomberg (English, 1890–1957)
The soft, dusty passages of charcoal are reinforced by touches of black crayon in some of the darkest lines of this drawing. The presence of the artist's hand can be sensed in the areas where he pressed his finger into a pliable eraser and removed charcoal to create highlights.
