This exquisite yet unfinished drawing by American cartoonist Al Capp, entitled 'Golf,' presents a humorous view of the beloved game. The composition depicts four men and two boys gathered around, apparently mid-game on the green. Of the figures, only the two boys are finished, along with the golf clubs at their feet – each masterfully inked in a series of contours and hatch-marks essential to twentieth-century cartooning. The other figures, drawn in pencil, are roughly sketched. It is truly in the faces of the figures, however, that Capp captures the satire of the scene: their exaggerated features and sly glances show the playfulness of their relationship and the competition at hand.
