This early 1900's antique charcoal drawing on paper is a recent curation trip purchase of a French gentleman with spectacles. The balance of his delicately rendered features, glare and unrefined bold gestural jacket lines, make this one of our favorite pieces in portraiture to date, and a classic example of Realism from Europe. This work has stood up beautifully to the test of time, only showing wear that is normal for a drawing of his antiquity via aging paper.

This piece is in very good shape with only the natural fading of paper that comes with age - no major marks to note. The artwork comes with a gallery style frame and 4" archival, acid free mat and Acrylite Conservation Glazing, filtering out 99% of harmful UV light. Frame style/color selection available upon checkout, with additional mat and frame options available upon request. 


Material: charcoal, paper

Size: 25ʺW × 31ʺH

Condition: Good Condition, Original Condition Unaltered, Some Imperfections
