English 1920s Large Charcoal Life Drawing
$1,650.0037.13"H x 50.50"W x 0.75"D
Dimensions: 37 ⅛” H x 50 ½” W x ¾” D
English 1920s framed charcoal figure study of a life drawing class in progress. With remarkable talent the artist has constructed a tense scene dominated by the nude male model at the front of the class (far right of the image) surrounded by students at their easels. The Art Deco time period is evident in the geometric repetition of the students, the pendant lights above, and statuesque pose of the model balanced by a tall staff to maintain his posture. By drawing some of the figures as looking out toward the viewer, and the model turned to face them, the perceived wall containing the action dissolves to raise the question of who is studying whom. Signed and dated to the lower right (unclear); framed and matted without glass. Please view the detailed images to see more.

English 1920s Large Charcoal Life Drawing
$1,650.0037.13"H x 50.50"W x 0.75"D
Dimensions: 37 ⅛” H x 50 ½” W x ¾” D
This framed charcoal study from 1920s England draws the viewer into an academic landscape where students at their easels concentrate on figure studies, using busts and torso models as reference. The image is dense with figural subjects: the artists as fully-formed people to representations of the human form as sculptural works and the drawings in progress seen clipped to the easels. A hazy sepia tone infuses a warm glow to the otherwise shadowy and monochromatic composition, enhanced by a tactile quality to the paper. No visible signature; framed and matted without glass.
