Bill Anthony Mid-Century Ink Drawing: Woman in Gloves and Stockings

A couple of years ago I bought a small stack of drawings that I soon later learned were the work of Bill Anthony, a mid 20th century artist/illustrator from Virginia, examples of whose work (somewhat more risque than this one, and also more absurd!) were presented in Josh Lowenfels booth at the 2019 Outsider Art Fair. (Blurb from artsy.net below.) I sold a number of them then, and sat on the rest, but on this week when I didn't get out hunting, I pulled them back out and decided to list this and two others. Women in short skirts and very high heels were clearly his fixation, but the equal attention paid to faces and outfits and gestures and hairstyles I think makes them more interesting- perhaps partially a means of veiling or offsetting the former, but more so it seems to me central to the dynamic. I think this is an especially good example of that, making this woman's lifting of her skirt feel all the more like a transgression.  11 1/8" x 7",  ink on card, good condition with corner
