Kees van Dongen, Sketch of an Ethnical Woman Sitting on a Bed

About the Item

The lithography shows a ethnical woman sitting quite relax and with a smile on a bed. She’s wearing loose fitting robes and a tulle band wrapped around her head, the beaded necklace she is wearing is visible from afar. Her right foot is resting on the edge of the bed with her right hand resting nonchalant on her knee. The left foot is on the floor and still has the orange shoe on. It’s not clear if the woman is wearing sunglasses or if her eyes are just not sketched very detailed. The setting is not clear weather it’s inside or outside. The sketch is both signed and dated. The frame is included. Kees van Dongen (1877-1968) was a Dutch-French painter who was one of the leading Fauves. Van Dongen’s early work was influenced by The Hague School and symbolism and it evolved gradually into a rough pointillist style. This sketch is signed in the right-hand corner. The sketch is probably made of charcoal on paper and is in good condition and framed.
