Figurative Pencil Drawing - Portrait Studies

1893

About the Item

A fascinating 19th Century pencil drawing of male and female figures, both in portrait and profile view, wearing headscarves, hats, and glasses. The artist dated the piece in the upper left corner and jotted explanatory notes throughout, including what appear to be names, such as "Bertha" and "Karl". Conveyed in this piece is the sense that the artist was trying to study these figures very closely, accessories included, for a future piece. Portion of a seal visible on the bottom right corner. Original artwork on paper displayed on a white mat with a gold border. Mat fits a standard-sized frame. Archival plastic sleeve and Certificate of Authenticity included. Artwork, 6.25"W x 8"H; mat, 16"W x 20"H.
