Gestural Drawings of the Masters, and the meaning of Contours

This drawing by Daumier is a great example of gestural drawing. There is so much movement throughout the space. Each of the figures in this drawing are moving while staying grounded to the space. You can almost see the motion of the figure playing the drum. The contour lines used in the figure standing on the chair are remarkable.
