专家说明

In the late 1940s Vaughan produced a series of paintings on the theme of bathers and several contain the motif of a figure with outstretched arms (Head with Raised Arms, 1947; Head of a Boy, 1947; Figures by the Sea, 1948). Here the highly expressive gesture of the wading bather has the effect of embracing both the sea and distant horizon, towards which he strides. The drawing does not relate to any extant painting but was probably inspired by Vaughan's photographs taken on the beach at Pagham during the late 1930s.
