Victor Hume Moody, Head Study Of A Girl

Victor Hume Moody, Head Study Of A GirlA gentle head study of a girl by British artist, Victor Hume Moody (1896 1990). Its a little reminiscent of the ethereal quality of old master drawings. Victor Moody was born in London but spent much of his life in the Cotswolds and Malvern. He studied at the Royal College of Art under William Rothenstein and he was a member of the Cheltenham Group of Artists. Between 1935 and 1962, he was the Headmaster of Malvern School of Art. The drawing is

and housed within a beautiful later frame

He also produced numerous copies of old masters

while the reeds are just quickly sketched in

as we know it

His works have been exhibited at the National Gallery of Berlin

With an impressionistic touch

We particularly love the curious two-legged cabinet

He deftly uses the effects of light to capture the imagination and his works pose more questions than they answer

Peter Josef Strahn (1904-1997) enjoyed capturing these everyday rural moments and this is typical of his style

then why were they painted out

Frame with some losses

Overall good
