Описание: This drawing was described by one visitor to Lowry's home as being red between two Tampion docia in Lowry's living room. Lowry found the drawing disquieting but told a friend that it would not be Half the picture without the subject's exaggerated btle finger ©The Lucian Freud Archive/ Bridgeman images Lowry's taste in art was varied. By the time he retired from the Pall Mall Property Company in 1952, on a full pension, he was making a profit from the sale of his own work and could afford to buy paintings and drawings by artists he admired. His collection included a drawing by the 18th Century caricaturist Thomas Rowlandson (1756-1827), two bronze busts and two drawings by Jacob Epstein (1880-1959) and Portrait of a Young Man 1944 by Lucian Freud (1922-2011). The Pre-Raphaelites Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828-82) and Ford Madox Brown (1821-93) were the two artists Lowry admired most. In 1967 he purchased Brown's charcoal drawing, Moses and the Brazen Serpent 1872, which hung on his living room wall, but as far as he was concerned 'There's no one like Rossetti....I don't care much for his subject pictures but his women are very wonderful. I can' find anything quite like them...[they are]...unreal pictures." Annie Miller 1860, one of Lowry's favourite Rossetti drawings, also hung in the living room, but most of Lowry's Rossettis were on his bedroom walls including his only oil painting by the artist Proserpine 1873/77.
