Discussion:
"Rothaug has his models pose in expressive gestures so that expression and posture can be examined in detail in drawings, usually in the margin with small additional studies of body construction or composition." B
["In expressiver Gestik lässt Rothaug seine Modelle posieren, um Ausdruck und Haltung detailgenau zeichnerisch untersuchen zu können, meist im Rand mit kleinen zusätzlichen Studien zur Körperkonstruktion oder zur Komposition."] B
