Description
A group of four rare figure studies attributed to the French artist Roger Capron (1922–2006), executed in charcoal, graphite and red chalk on two sheets of drawing paper.
The studies depict male nude figures in different poses, including standing, seated and crouching figures. The expressive lines, energetic contours and contrasting drawing techniques reveal an interest in anatomical structure, movement and the human form.
The four studies are presented on two separate sheets, with two drawings on each sheet. One sheet bears two signatures or inscriptions associated with Roger Capron, while the other sheet is unsigned and attributed to the artist.
According to the auction house catalogue, these works belong to Capron's formative period at the École des Arts Appliqués à l'Industrie in Paris, between 1938 and 1943. Some of the drawings were dated 1941.
Provenance
According to the auction house catalogue: from a friend of the artist, subsequently passed down by descent.
