672. Two Portrait Drawings by Shannon

A section in Roseberys auction of 11 June - Modern British & 20th Century Art - contained a lot with two drawings by Charles Shannon, both dated 1917: a portrait of a woman and a man, probably related, but not identified.  

Charles Shannon, portrait of a woman (1917)

The woman wears a necklace with a pendant. The portrait, signed with initials and dated 1917 is executed in chalk, and measures 32 by 22 cm.


The portrait of the man is identically executed, signed and dated, and somewhat larger,  measuring 33 by 22 cm.

Price of the drawings was £577.
