Georges Julien Sortais
Portrait of a Man - Original Pencil Drawing by G.J. Sortais - 1886

1886

About the Item

Man Portrait is a beautiful portrait drawn with a sanguine pencil by the French artist Georges Julien Sortais. The state of preservation is very good, except for some stains of fungal foxing and dirt, especially in the central part of the artwork. The upper right corner is torn, whilst the upper left corner presents a small fold. On the lower right, there is the inscription “A l’ami Hayot / G. Sartan / 1886”. Georges Julien Sortais was a painter and art historian, specialized in the Renaissance. This drawing is beautiful for the intensity of the man’s face, portrayed with great realism and an essential rapid stroke, according to the typical style of Impressionist portraits. This is a fascinating artwork, realized with great mastery, with a typology of stroke common in the portraiture of late-1800 France.
