Bacon, Peggy. BILL ROBINSON (BOJANGLES). Charcoal on paper, not dated,
but c. 1935. Signed and titled. 14 x 9 5/8 inches. Small losses and
tears at the edges of the sheet, well away from the image, otherwise in
very good condition. A sensitively executed portrait drawing of the
famous dancer Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, at the peak of his career,
showing him in jacket and tie, in three-quarter face. A similar drawing,
full face, in apparently the same dress, is in the collection of the
National Portrait Gallery at the Smithsonian Institution.
