Unnamed Work, Milford Sykes

The paintings of Milford Sykes were defined by strong usage of shapes, bodies which faded out into hazy brush strokes, and characters with pinched narrowed eyes. 

Milford Sykes began drawing in his thirties and quickly found himself under the employ of various companies and independent commissioners. 

He stated about his own work that he rejected concrete settings and place, rather he preferred to focus on characters, shapes, and movement which often led to paintings in which the characters were placed in an unidentifiable space.

Found amongst his unpublished works upon his death this  piece appears to depict Miss Hecate. It is unknown for whom this piece was commissioned or why it was never released upon completion.
