About the Item

Title: Double Sided Fashion Figure with Telescope 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 and handling marks across the sheet, with minor edge wear and slight corner softening. Some graphite smudging and tonal variation visible to both sides, consistent with a working drawing. Presents well. Provenance: Private collection, France Description: A lively and characterful double-sided graphite drawing featuring two stylised figure studies, likely produced within a studio or design-led context during the 20th century. The primary side depicts a standing figure in a confident, theatrical pose, one foot raised and a small telescope held to the eye. The composition is playful and slightly narrative in tone, suggesting a character study rather than a strictly observational drawing. The artist employs bold, economical line work to define the figure, with selective shading used to emphasise movement, posture, and the structure of the clothing. The reverse presents a more simplified standing figure, rendered with quick, gestural lines and broader tonal shading. Here, the focus shifts toward silhouette and form, with the looser handling of graphite conveying immediacy and experimentation. The numbering visible on both sides suggests the sheet formed part of a larger sequence of studies or exercises. Across both sides, the elongated proportions, stylised facial features, and emphasis on clothing align closely with mid-century fashion illustration and design practice. The work captures not just the figure itself, but a sense of attitude and personality, giving it strong visual appeal. An engaging and versatile piece for collectors of figurative drawings, fashion illustration, and modern works on paper. Ideal for framing—either highlighting a single composition or displaying both sides—it offers charm, movement, and a clear sense of artistic process.
