About the Item

Title: Mid Century French School Two Standing Nude Figure Study Drawing Medium: Charcoal and graphite on paper, unframed Size: 19.75 x 25.75 inches (height x width) Provenance: private collection Condition: Good overall with visible age toning light creasing edge wear and small paper losses to lower corners consistent with studio use and age Description: A refined mid century French School academic life drawing depicting two standing female nude figures rendered in charcoal and graphite. The sheet presents two independent standing poses, each constructed with disciplined contour drawing and carefully layered tonal modelling. The figure at left leans slightly backward, her weight shifting through the hips and legs, while the figure at right stands in a contrapposto stance against a dark cast shadow that enhances depth and sculptural presence. The artist demonstrates confident atelier training through cross hatching, tonal gradation and precise anatomical observation. The modelling of the thighs, abdomen and torso reveals a careful study of structure and balance, while darker charcoal passages create contrast against the lighter ground. Likely produced during a formal mid twentieth century French life drawing session, the work retains visible paper toning and minor studio wear consistent with age and authenticity. This dual standing composition will appeal to collectors of mid century modern works on paper and French academic figure drawing.
