Lee Woodward Zeigler

Mercury

Lee Woodward Zeigler's murals were a major element of his oeuvre. For these works the artist usually started with separate studies of each character within the overall composition. This original charcoal drawing of the god Mercury was probably meant for a mural with a mythological subject matter.

"Mercury" contains the graceful Art Nouveau lines and tones one sees in Zeigler's work from this period. It is drawn on and hand-made, laid paper and with full, deckled margins. It is signed with the artist's estate stamp in the lower right corner and also signed by Lee Woodward Zeigler with his well known 'LWZ' monogram to the lower right.

Note:	Lee Woodward Zeigler: A fine American muralist and oil painter, Lee Woodward Zeigler studied at the Maryland Institute of Art. By the turn of the century, Lee Woodward Zeigler had established a large reputation for his paintings and murals in both the United States and Great Britain. He was a full member of the Hudson Highland Art Association, the Medieval Academy of America, the American Federation of Arts and Britain's prestigious Royal Society of Artists. Lee Woodward Zeigler also created a number of fine drawings and illustrations for the "Magazine of Art", beginning in 1909.
	During the first decades of the twentieth century, Lee Woodward Zeigler was much in demand for both his portraits and his allegorical figure studies. In the former category he painted many military portraits, such as the portrait of Washington which is now in the collection of West Point. The allegorical studies, however, were often commissioned as public murals and reveal a more delicate, less formal characteristic of the artist's work. This original drawing depicts the god Mercury and was probably a preparatory study for one of these works. Lee Woodward Zeigler's art from this period usually contains the graceful Art Nouveau lines and tones one sees in this beautiful example.
