Last fall I purchased a handful of works from a dealer at Brimfield by Wood Gaylor (1883-1957) and Adelaide Lawson Gaylor (1889-1986), which had been acquired from a one time neighbor of the couple on Long Island. Last week I went back to him to scoop up a few more. This unsigned sketch of a nude, which just immediately called to me, is I believe by him, c. 1920s, ink on onion skin type watermarked laid paper. With just those few short lines above and below her eyes lending her the visage of a clown, which also makes it feel a much more specific, intimate, psychological feeling, portrait. I love the way her leg extends beyond the edge of the paper too. 

There is lots out there about Gaylor and his work (which was included in the 1913 Armory Show, critical in establishing American Modernism), including an expansive 2021 review by Roberta Smith for the NY Times about a solo exhibition of his large scale paintings at the Heckscher Museum in Huntington NY.

11" x 8 1/4". A couple of light creases and some dark marks at bottom right corner of paper and some smudges/light soiling at upper left. Once in a frame (I would float this on a white mat and frame very simply) I think these would fall away.
