Sketch of a Spanish Man Edward Penfield (American, 1866-1925). Sketch of a Spanish Man, 1906. Watercolor and graphite on paper mounted in scrap book, sheet: 11 5/16 x 7 11/16 in. (28.7 x 19.5 cm). In these two works, Edward Penfield used controlled graphite outlines and watercolor washes to detail the tattered clothes and scruffy faces of working men he encountered during a 1906 trip through Spain. The frank realism of his approach gives his images a documentary authenticity; indeed, they were most likely studies for his illustrated travelogue Spanish Sketches (1911). While capitalizing on Americans fascination with the picturesque appeal of Spain, Penfield also endowed his subjects with a dignity reflected in their proud bearing. American Art 1906
