Cape Cod Idyll,, [1940-1950?]

Lubell 3/4: 139

Ink and wash drawing (with watercolor and [pastel?]) of a family at a table. While food is there – a woman is pouring milk, and there is fruit on a centerpiece bowl – the actual plates are empty. As is much of the actual detail; the markers separating the walls and floor are only half-done shadings, the woman only has some borders and her colors just fade out, and details get increasingly shady the further they get from the table at the center. Drawing has little to no interest in naturalistic perspective. Signed Milius. Drawn on illustration board. Lubell 138-146 are of similar subjects and dates, with the medium for some focusing more on watercolor and others more on line drawings in pen or graphite pencil.
