Drawing for 'Icarus', by 1925

Maurice Lambert RA (1901 - 1964)

RA Collection: Art

This sketch appears to be an early idea for the 'Icarus' sculpture exhibited by Lambert at the Goupil Gallery in 1925. In the finished sculpture, the boy's hands are held out to the sides as he begins to spread his wings.

See records for further drawings relating to the same sculpture (09/ 457 and 09/456).
