Original figurative drawing by Batya Magal depicting a seated woman. Lovely drawing made with gouache and contoured with pencil. Pen-signed in Hebrew, lower left. Batia Magal was born in Israel in 1953. From childhood onwards, she displayed a marked talent for drawing and an all-embracing interest in art. It is therefore not surprising that after finishing high-school, she was accepted as a student at the Avni Art Institute, where she came under the tutelage and influence of such well known artists as Streichman, Wexler, Propes and others.
