Drawing Pencil on Paper by Bob Meyer: The Midget Takes the Part of the Lion - the Tower, Framed

A small figure wears a lion's head like a borrowed hat, teeth and all.

The Midget Takes the Part of the Lion – The Tower is a framed pencil drawing on paper by Bob Meyer, from France, dated 1986. Pencil is often treated as a sketching tool, but in steady hands it can carry finished work, from crisp contour to the faintest haze of graphite. A pale, rounded figure stands in profile, head bowed beneath a lion's open jaws, the mane dissolving into loose scribbled loops. A fluffy tail trails from one hand. A wide white mat and a brushed silver frame surround it. It is 27.5 inches wide and 30 high.

Every actor knows the costume does half the work.
