Two Trails of Smoke (for Bernice), Charming c 1920s Ink Drawing of Smoking Woman on Pedestal runner with a wonderful painterliness toThis drawing is one of two ink over graphite drawings, clearly by the same person, listed today, which I like for their curiousness, and for the women who are their subjects, who look quite self possessed, this one perched on what looks like the remnant of a classical column, smoking away, as if sitting back and watching the fall of Rome! 6 1 2" x 4 7 8", good condition, c. 1920s I believe.
