A wash drawing reducing the human body to pure geometric relationship — closer to a diagram of form than a portrait, and consistent with how thoroughly Jellett had internalised her Paris cubist training. Figure studies like this underpin the disciplined abstraction of her mature work.
Mainie Jellett (1897-1944), born in Dublin, studied under William Orpen before training in Paris with Andre Lhote and Albert Gleizes. With Evie Hone she exhibited the first abstract paintings shown in Ireland in 1923, and went on to found the Irish Exhibition of Living Art. Her work hangs in the National Gallery of Ireland.
