About the Item

Title: Early 20th Century Seated Female Nude Charcoal Life Study Medium: Charcoal on paper, unframed Size: 25.5 x 19.75 inches (height x width) Provenance: private collection Condition: Light edge wear and minor corner softening. Small lower edge irregularities. Surface smudging consistent with charcoal medium. Light overall time toning Description: An early 20th-century charcoal life study depicting a seated female nude in a contemplative pose. The model is shown seated on a draped stool, one arm extended downward and the other bent to support her head. The composition conveys psychological depth as much as anatomical study, with the downward gaze and heavy shadowing around the eyes suggesting introspection. The artist employs confident charcoal strokes and layered tonal modelling to build volume through the torso and thighs. The draped stool beneath the figure is handled with rhythmic vertical marks, contrasting with the broader, sculptural treatment of the body. The face is rendered with darker emphasis, drawing the viewer’s attention to expression rather than strict anatomical perfection. This piece reflects traditional life-room training while embracing expressive charcoal handling typical of early modern European studios. Unframed and suitable for conservation mounting, it would work well in contemporary interiors seeking classical figurative presence with subtle emotional weight.

Female Nudes - Original Charcoal Drawing y Unknown Artist Early 20th Century

Located in Roma, IT

Female Nudes are two very interesting drawings, one on the recto, the other on the verso of a piece of paper drawn by an author of the first half of the 20th century. On the lower right of the recto, in blue ink, the unreadable signature of the author. The main drawing, on the recto, represents a full nude of a woman on one side, with her face covered by her hand. It is gorgeous, drawn with a swift stroke in a style that could be defined Expressionist for the strength and intensity of the sign even when it is just sketched on the surface of the paper. On the verso, there is a nude frontal...
