Titled ” A Sketch of the Row in Parliment Street,” this hand colored print was published in London by Thomas McLean, circa approximately 1830. Drawn by William Heath (1795 to 1840), his pseudonym ‘Paul Pry’. . “William Heath was a caricaturist and illustrator and was predominately occupied with the illustration of books, mostly on military themes. However, with the decline in demand for such publications in the 1820s Heath began to once again produce satirical caricatures, a talent for which he acquired in his youth, publishing his first satirical prints in 1809 at the age of only fourteen. Heath brilliantly satirized contemporary British political figures, utilizing extreme satire to characterize how little each opposing group understands each other.”

In a drawing from the 1950s by California artist Robert Gilberg, we encounter a captivating portrayal of a nude figure. The artist employed brown ink to delicately outline the contours of the figure’s body, adding a sense of graceful definition. Within this gentle framework, areas of shading emerge, subtly infused with hints of pink pastel, lending a soft, almost ethereal quality to the form. A judicious use of red ink strategically highlights certain features, such as the cheeks and other body parts, imbuing them with warmth and sensuality.

Notably, the drawing’s composition cleverly utilizes vast white space, allowing the viewer to focus intently on the subject. Gilberg’s artistic interpretation accentuates the hands and feet, exaggerating their proportions, perhaps to emphasize the expressive capacity of these extremities. The result is a harmonious blend of simplicity and sophistication, offering a unique glimpse into the artist’s vision and mastery of form.

Born in Oakland, CA on April 25, 1911. Gilberg studied at the Oakland Art Center in the 1930s. Following service in the Army during WWII, he settled in Nevada City, CA where he remained until shortly before his death in San Francisco at the Veteran’s Hospital on March 17, 1970. He painted landscapes of the Sierra and abstractions. Member: Nevada City AA. Exh: SF, 1941, 1942 (1st solos); Army Art Exhibit (San Diego), 1945 (1st prize); Calif. WC Society, 1946-53; Calif.
