A finely executed black, brown, and sanguine chalk drawing by Sir William Russell Flint depicting Vera Lavrova in the role of Gay Rosalinda, a production staged at the Palace Theatre, London, from 1945 to 1946. This intimate study captures Flint's signature mastery of the female form, with Lavrova elegantly posed in an 18th-century-inspired gown, her delicate features rendered with meticulous attention to light and texture. The work is inscribed with the artist's signature in the lower right and bears multiple annotations on the reverse, indicating it was a personal gift from Flint to the sitter. Flint's characteristic use of subtle tonal shading and fluid draftsmanship exemplifies his renowned technique in portraying grace and movement.Artist: Sir William Russell Flint (Scottish, 1880-1969)Issued: 1945Dimensions: 20"L x 16"HCountry of Origin: ScotlandCondition: Age related wear.
