Lajos Szalay, Original Ink Drawing, New York, 1973

Original 1973 ink drawing by Hungarian artist Lajos Szalay, executed in New York and signed lower left “Szalay 73 N.Y.” This work is created in black ink on paper using Szalay’s characteristic continuous, expressive line drawing technique, emphasizing fluid contour, anatomical structure, and rhythmic motion. The composition features multiple horses and human figures rendered with confident, gestural strokes that highlight Szalay’s mastery of draftsmanship and dynamic figuration. The piece exemplifies Szalay’s 20th-century figurative expressionist style, influenced by European modernism and classical illustration, with an emphasis on movement, proportion, and psychological tension.
