Little David Play Upon Your Harp and The Flood Studies
ca. 1930
Charcoal on artist’s paper
13 3/4” x 9 3/4”
These two studies illustrate the composition behind the final black-and-white lithographs for each spiritual. The upper study (Little David) shows the basic elements, and the lower study (The Flood) is a simplified version of the larger more elaborate studies in pen and ink.
