(63.5 by 44.5cm) Provenance: Whyte’s, 22 February 2005, lot 67; Private collection In this rare early work by Charles Brady, dating to the late 1940s - early 1950s whilst Brady was a young student, the influence of his teacher John Groth (1902-1983) is evident. Groth had then but recently returned to New York after a period of work as a war correspondent and was renowned for his vigorous pen and ink drawings. With his encouragement, Brady took to drawing from life outside the classroom, sketching pigeons in the nearby Pallisades. This drawing, most probably done in the local zoological gardens, reveals Groth’s influence on the young student. €600-€800 (£500-£670 approx.) Click here for more images and to bid on this lot141
