What's this and who's it by, for 1 point?

Google Image Search continues to raise its ugly head on AutoPuzzles.
For the sake of our newer members who may not be aware of past discussions on it, Google Image Search as a means of solving puzzles is banned on this website.

AutoPuzzles is primarily a game of automotive knowledge, not of who can copy and paste the quickest.

We ask all members to remember and respect this, and retain the right to ask puzzle-solvers how they came to their answer.

Have fun!

This is only 1 of a series of 11 sketches sent by Lowey from his Paris studio leading up to the Studebaker Avanti.
 The sketches were done with fluid markers on vellum paper.

Yes it is.
It's actually study no. 2 but we won't nit-pick!   
Do check your spelling of Loewy though - he was French originally...

Thank you for the point and my dyslexia always seems to kick in when I write his name ... I know how to spell it and yet I make the same mistake repeatedly ..... Loewy NOT Lowey, Loewy NOT Lowey ... some day ......................
