Thirties female fashion figurative portrait drawing on paper

1934

About the Item

This drawing (colored pastels on paper, 26 x 23 cm) depicts a woman in profile with blond hair worn in the short wavy bob cut typical of the fashion of the period, wearing eye-catching makeup with red lipstick and very long eyelashes, which almost acts as a counterpoint to her somewhat pouty but also very proud expression. For stylistic reasons, a provenance from central northern Europe, probably French and German areas, can be inferred. In the lower right corner present the artist's monogram but difficult to interpret, below which is a word that is probably the place where the drawing was made, but unfortunately at the moment only the date 1934 has been identified. An italicized pencil inscription is also present on the back, the handwriting looks different so one may infer an annotation by a previous collector or for display at an exhibition.

Lucien-Victor Guirand de Scevola (1871-1950) Portrait of a young woman Pastel on paper 38 x 28 cm (oval) Framed under glass in a vintage framing : 45 x 35 cm A label on the back "1928 Portrait de femme Etude au pastel de Guirand de Scévola" (see photographs please) This pastel study is of course not signed, as the label on the back of the frame gives its attribution to Guirand de Scévola and, equally interestingly, the date 1928, but in fact the artist's style and execution are immediately recognisable without the need for a signature. This type of woman with a bun is typical of the models the artist loved. Her mysterious air recalls his Symbolist period, and pastel is hisr preferred medium because it lends itself to all the characteristics typical of his art. Lucien-Victor Guirand de Scévola ( 1871 – 1950) was a French painter. He was student of Fernand Cormon and Pierre Dupuis...
