dready ‘the yellow scarf’ – 30×20″ – original commission on paper

i seem to have drawn an inordinate # of jaguars – ftype, etype, and now a c-type or as it’s formally know the XK-120-C

the car is famous for winning the 24 hours at Le Mans in 1952 and 3, I think … anyhow, it was and is (if you can afford the price tag) a beautiful car … but it doesn’t have a roof!

a wife from oxford, england, asked me to draw this for her husband … and immediately, in minds eye, I saw the long scarf trailing behind …

there’s the bizarre story of the dancer, isadora duncan, who in 1927, got her long scarf, trailing behind her, caught in the rear wheel of her car and it strangled her …

anyhow, the scene is made up completely but the # is the # of their house, although they don’t have such gate posts!

drive on …
