"Looking Heavenward, " Ink Drawing with Male Nude by Harlem Renaissance Artist
Located in Philadelphia, PA
This extraordinary drawing produced by one of the great artists associated with the Harlem Renaissance depicts a nude male figure leaning against an icy slope and looking heavenward. The artist was Charles Cullen, who played a very important role in illustrating several volumes associated with Black writers in the 1920s and 1930s, most especially Countee Cullen (no relation to Charles). Countee was a writer and poet who produced several important works, including "The Black Christ and Other Poems," "Copper Sun...

Reflections of Gisele, a Pastel by M. de Bever de la Quintinie, Paris, c.1900
Located in Langweer, NL
The drawing is a pastel work from the late 19th or early 20th century and it features a female nude seated in a chair smoking a cigarette. It is titled "Gisele." The artist's signature on the piece is "M. van Bever de la Quintinie." The technique used here is pastel drawing, a medium where artists use sticks of pigment to create various hues on paper. The nature of pastel allows for soft textures and subtle blending of colors, which is evident in the gentle gradations on the figure's skin and the velvet texture of the seat. The model used named 'Gisele' could potentially refer to the remarkable lady by the name of Gisèle d'Estoc. Gisèle d’Estoc was the pseudonym of a nineteenth-century French woman writer and, it turns out, artist who, among other things, was accused of being a bomb-planting anarchist, the cross-dressing lover of writer Guy de Maupassant, and the fighter of at least one duel with another woman, inspiring Bayard’s famous painting on the subject. The true identity of this enigmatic woman remained unknown and was even considered fictional until recently, when Melanie C...
