About the Item

Title: Double Sided Standing and Seated Figure Studies Graphite Drawing French Paper Artist: French School (20th century) Medium: Graphite pencil drawing on artists paper, double-sided, unframed Size: 10.75 x 8.25 inches (height x width) Signed: Unsigned Condition: Good overall condition with age-related wear. Light creasing, handling marks, and minor edge wear visible. Some graphite smudging and transfer between sides, consistent with working studio drawings. Presents well. Provenance: Private collection, France Description: A double-sided graphite drawing featuring two expressive figure studies, likely created as part of a studio or academic exercise during the 20th century. The primary side presents a standing figure in a relaxed, asymmetrical pose, leaning slightly with weight shifted through the hips. The artist uses confident, economical line work to define the structure of the body and clothing, with darker accents applied selectively to emphasise form and balance. The simplified treatment of the head and facial features keeps the focus on gesture and silhouette. The reverse shows a seated figure study, rendered more loosely and with a greater sense of immediacy. The lines are lighter and more exploratory, suggesting this side captures a quicker observational moment. Together, the two sides reflect different stages of the drawing process—one more resolved, the other more gestural. Executed in graphite, the work retains a softness of tone and clarity of line, characteristic of mid-century figure drawing practice. The visible numbering marks further suggest the sheet may belong to a broader series of related studies. An appealing piece for collectors of figurative drawings, academic studies, and works on paper. Ideal for framing—either highlighting a single composition or presenting both sides—it offers both decorative interest and insight into the artist’s working method.
