Another figure demonstrating the infectious pulse of the music with spirited body movements was the young man in the striped shirt.
Again, the attitude and motions of the figure were so complicated I had to use a model.
His gesture is purloined from an illustration by Morton Roberts. This artist drew a cluster of "second liners" for an article in Life magazine which caught and concentrated the excitement of the music better than any artist's work I have seen. I made an outline drawing of the whole group and chose the 3rd figure from the left to steal.
