Marie Laurencin Graphite Drawing, Female Portrait
By Marie Laurencin
Located in Phoenix, AZ
Graceful original graphite drawing by Marie Laurencin (1885-1956). Signed lower right with initials "M.L." Marie Laurencin, intimate of Braque, Picasso, Matisse and Appollinaire, was born in 1885.

In her later years, she became almost a hermit, although mothers with daughters...
