Drawing Pencil on Paper by Bob Meyer: Real Champagne, Framed

Two faces almost touching, and a man at the edge lost in his glass.

This framed drawing, Real Champagne, is pencil on paper by Bob Meyer, from France, dated 1982. The title and date are written across the top of the sheet in the artist's own loose hand. Two nude women stand in profile, nose to nose, their bodies left mostly to bare paper and a few dark passages of shading. One gathers her hair in a long braid. At left, a smaller man tilts his head to a tall flute. It measures 45.5 inches wide and 34 high.

Most of the line is barely there. The tension is not.
