The pen line is quick and broken, the grey wash laid in around the figure in loose vertical strokes that leave her lit against the dark. The drawing is the pair of the preceding lot, in a matching frame, and belongs to the same period, the 1930s and 1940s, when Léon Zack (1892–1980) was working as an illustrator and a painter of religious and allegorical subjects in Paris, before he turned to the lyrical abstraction for which he is best known.
