Lady with a Dragon
Floyd’s works reflect his admiration for the styles of artists from Japan and China, and he used similar styles in several of his drawings.
Suzuki Harunobu (c. 1725 – 8 July 1770) was a Japanese designer of woodblock print art in the ukiyo-e style, an innovator, the first to produce full-color prints (nishiki-e) in 1765, rendering obsolete the former modes of two- and three-color prints. From Wikipedia.
Katsushika Hokusai (c. 31 October 1760 – 10 May 1849), known as Hokusai, was a Japanese ukiyo-e artist of the Edo period, active as a painter and printmaker. From Wikipedia.

Incredible! I am so delighted to see another special image, thank you for including the details – the animals in the fabric so are amazing!
I had no idea he was interested in Asian art and I have to agree this is a wonderful drawing that also shows off Floyd’s unique style. It’s unfortunate about the UV fading but an inevitability with the he materials he was using…
I would have loved so much to meet him while he was producing these, I make drawings of a similar nature!
Please don’t hesitate to look me up if you are ever in the San Francisco Bay area, I look after the collection at the Asian Art Museum and would enjoy chatting some about Floyd!
Kind regards,

We’ll get on it. Sister says there are higher res photos somewhere. I think these Asian ones are my favorites.
