Bending knees in a moment of deep concentration, dancers in 1919's "Danseuses" pose gracefully, mirroring the introspective Seated Girl in the etching "Seated Girl and Large Bird." Meanwhile, the Bathers in "Les Baigneuses" take a break from their playful frolics, their hands on knees, as they soak up the sun. In contrast, the Italian composer Giuseppe Verdi, captured in a portrait with hands resting on his knees, exudes a sense of seriousness and determination. The magical world of "A Winter's Tale of Sprites and Goblins" comes to life as a figure kneels among the enchanted creatures, hands on knees in awe. Lastly, the enigmatic figure of The Seyid, Mustapha el Idrisi, in the 1922 etching by Donald McLeish, sits with hands on knees, his gaze fixed on the horizon, a symbol of wisdom and contemplation.
