At some point someone must have turned up a large lot of Bill Anthony drawings, small piles of which surface around these parts now and then. I bought a good handful a few years ago, all since sold, but came across some more while I was out and about last week and chose two from that pile, both of which I think are great examples--for being of the very specific and therefore rather over the top variety. A wonderfully serious expression on the face of our nurse here as she sits at her desk in her uniform and cap, pencil in hand--all the better to make her very high heels and exposed stocking feel like a transgression. One might not think these would be my sort of thing, but I really appreciate them, including for the feeling one gets that Anthony, a commercial illustrator by day, was really earnest about and committed to them.
10 7/8" x 7". Good condition, black ink on paper board, with some surface loss at corners and light stain along left edge, which feels all of a piece with it.
