Nora Heysen's talent as an artist was recognised early by her father, the acclaimed artist Hans Heysen. Her skill as a draughtsman was built through dedicated study under a disciplined drawing regime, where drawing from the live model was a fundamental component of the training. Her mastery of drawing the human figure is unquestionable, these works highlighting her strong modelling and graceful line and her ability to capture faces and people with an appealing accuracy and individual personality.
