拍品专文

This late red chalk drawing is an exercise in Symbolism by Solomon. The drawing presents itself as a portrait, but is probably not a depiction of a real person but rather a head that is suggestive of a mood or emotion.
We are grateful to Colin Cruise for his assistance in preparing this catalogue entry.
