AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Cat Studies
Year: 2025
Medium: Charcoal/paper.
Dimensions: 31 x 1.11 cm.
Signature: Signed by the artist in the lower right corner.
COMMENTARY:
A charcoal study of a cat exploring, through loose strokes and the layering of lines, the relationship between form, movement, and character. The figure is built with quick strokes and gestures that suggest volume without enclosing it, leaving open areas that convey lightness and dynamism. The dual presence introduces a temporal reading: movement and pause, intuition and alertness. The gaze, precise and restrained, acts as an anchor against the dissolution of the body into the gesture. The work captures the animal’s independent and elusive nature, combining direct observation and expressive synthesis in a balance between control and spontaneity.
The work is in perfect condition.
Includes a certificate of authenticity with a photograph of the work, dated and hand-signed by the artist.
Shipping is carried out with the work properly protected. Depending on the format of the work, it can be shipped in a tube.

Seller's Story
Juan Álvarez Cebrián, a Spanish painter with a long career. His work is based on figurative and realist styles and also touches on abstract art. He currently lives and works on the outskirts of Madrid. A passionate advocate of drawing. His themes are varied; he does not like to be pigeonholed into a single subject. He works with the figure, landscape, nature subjects, even surrealism. A staunch defender of good technique in art, he has studied the great masters and, for that reason, was a copyist of works at the Prado Museum in Madrid for a few years.
