Description from the seller

Drawing
Pencil/charcoal
Figure study of a male
Italian school
19th/20th century
Author: monogram bottom right LDG (Luigi Di Giovanni)
Dimensions: 70 x 57; 50 x 31, outside the frame
The work depicts a life study, drawn from the model, focusing on the rendering of muscular tension and the physical effort of a male figure whose shoulders are pulling a rope.
The stroke is confident and clean.
Bottom right is clearly visible the characteristic cursive monogram LDG with which the artist signed his graphic output and study sketches.
Condition: The drawing is in good overall condition, with slight, natural yellowing of the paper due to the period that does not compromise its beauty and legibility.
The gilded frame, contemporary, is made of wood.
Its structure is solid, robust and structurally flawless.
Shows only very slight and imperceptible signs of time consistent with the period that attest to its authenticity.
Provenance: noble Sicilian family
Tracked shipment with courier
N.B:
The frame is considered a complimentary addition
Any defects caused by transport are not grounds for complaint or cancellation of the sale
