'Love, Youth and Death’

Alfred Garth Jones

Dated ‘99’ [1899]

Graphite drawing

8 x 5 inches

Pen and ink drawing in The Studio 24 (1902) 133

One of Jones’s exquisite drawings in the manner of Dürer, which also recalls the ‘hard line’ style of first stage Pre-Raphaelitism and the ‘Germanic’ designs of Fred Sandys. Jones’s combination of psychological drama, gloominess and intricate verisimilitude is more in the style of the middle of the century than the end.
