Title: Pencil Classical Draped Male Figure Study Signed Rouvet French School Medium: Pencil on paper, unframed Size: 12 x 8.75 inches (height x width) Signature: Signed lower right Rouvet Provenance: private collection Condition: Fair vintage condition. Heavy water staining and surface abrasion particularly across centre and lower half of sheet. Noticeable foxing, surface dirt and areas of paper thinning. Edges worn with small tears and losses, especially upper and lower margins. Paper heavily toned and structurally fragile in places. Image remains legible but overall condition is distressed. Description: A mid century French School pencil classical figure study, signed lower right Rouvet, depicting a seated male figure draped in classical attire. The composition reflects the academic tradition of copying antique sculpture and allegorical subjects, central to European atelier training. Executed in graphite pencil on artists paper, the drawing demonstrates controlled line work and structured cross hatching. The musculature of the torso and arm is articulated through layered pencil shading, while the drapery is defined with diagonal hatching that creates tonal depth and movement. The facial features are stylised yet expressive, suggesting reference to classical statuary or Renaissance inspired models often studied in academic settings. Graphite pencil allows for precision and clarity of contour, giving the figure a sculptural quality despite the minimal background. Such works are sought after by collectors of classical male figure drawings...

Abstract geometric painting with a cool toned palette of green, blue, and grey with accents of black and white against a sea foam green colored acrylic wash background "Blue and Grey Green Plan" made by Hudson Valley artists, Donise English, in 2022 Graphite, colored pencil, and acrylic painting on vellum 24 x 18 inches unframed, 31 x 25 x 1.5 with an 8-ply white mat, non-glare plexi, and simple black moulding Signed, verso Excellent condition and ready to hang This abstract geometric painting on vellum was made by Hudson Valley based artist, Donise English, in 2022. The composition begins with a blue green toned background of acrylic wash. A grid of box-like patterns in sky blue, green, grey, and black with white line work are stacked to create an irregular shape or an "imagined city grid", says the artist. The painting on vellum is complemented by a simple black frame with an 8-ply white mat, non-glare plexi, and wire backing. It's in excellent condition and ready to hang. About the artist: Donise English emphasizes lines, grids, and fields of subtle color to evoke imagined places and invented structures. While precise lines and straight angles are often associated with themes in architecture and urban planning designs, English conveys a geometric motif guided by intuition rather than a ruler. Variations on grids retain flaws and unmistakable traces of the artists’ hand; her style of draftsmanship shies away from intellectualism and instead makes her compositions feel very personal. A central checkerboard formation floats over a ground of pastel color or washes of grey or cream. Each design is intensely intricate, incorporating gouache, acrylic, pen, graphite, ink and colored pencil. The artist recently retired from her decades career teaching at Marist College and is now devoted full time to her art making. Artist Statement: My work is about the way visual diagrams present information that describes how something is made or the way it is. I am interested in drawing and collaging multiple layers of information that refer abstractly to maps, architectural drawings and blueprints or patterns and structures found in such things as roller coasters, power lines and fences. I use gouache and collaged paper in a series of layers that are a visual and ideological response to the previous layer to define my pictorial space. For each piece I create a set of rules to follow about the use of a limited palette, a grid format, opacity of paper and whether a piece may include curving lines or maintain a rectilinear structure.
