This beautiful, signed antique nude figural drawing from early 1900's Europe is an exquisite drawing in the style and manner of Classicism. Rendered in sepia charcoal, the delicacy of shading, poetic pose and energetic strokes of space, make this truly one of our favorite works from our collection.


Classicism in art refers to a style and aesthetic that draws inspiration from the classical art and culture of ancient Greece and Rome. It emphasizes harmony, proportion, balance, and idealized beauty, often striving to achieve a sense of order and perfection in its representation of the human figure and nature. Classicism values clarity, simplicity, and restrained emotion, focusing on the ideals of rationality and universality.

With all of it's beauty, please take note of the minor imperfections noted in the photos. As with age, there are minor areas of wear to please take note of.
