Drawing by Raphael Soyer

Details Details Close Description A recent purchase from Paris, this beautiful Mid-Century portrait of a young woman in charcoal is signed by the Mid-Century French artist known only as “Wouyart”. As an artist who was/is exhibited and collected internationally, this portrait represents one of his many stylistic expressions. We can’t help but feel some modern styling similarities to the early female portraits by Picasso. The confident strokes, subtle shading and textural play on ochre paper, make this simple but stoic portrait a strong statement and representation of the period. This work comes ready to frame in a 3″ acid-free archival mat and foamcore backing to ensure it’s preservation. less DIMENSIONS 17ʺW × 0.25ʺD × 14.5ʺH STYLES FrenchMid-Century ModernPortraiture ART SUBJECTS FigurePortrait FRAME TYPE Unframed PERIOD Mid 20th Century COUNTRY OF ORIGIN France ITEM TYPE Vintage, Antique or Pre-owned MATERIALS CharcoalPaper CONDITION Good Condition, Original Condition Unaltered, Some Imperfections COLOR Black TEAR SHEET CONDITION NOTES You will note that due to the wear of time, there are some rippling effects of the paper around the … more See less
