Francis Quirk’s Anatomical Drawings at the Rhode Island School of Design

In addition to being adept at working in oil, pastel and watercolor; Francis Quirk had a skillful hand for pencil drawing.  Among the works on paper at the Maine sale of items from his estate were a number of pencil drawings. These may have been executed while he was studying at the Rhode Island School of Design from which he graduated in 1929.


We have pasted in images of the works below. Among the more interesting pieces was the one which highlights the muscle groups and anatomy.
