Françoise Begnat-Borde (XX) - Homme de profil au bonnet

Françoise BEGNAT-BORDE — Profile view of a man with a bonnet

Dimensions: 50 × 65 cm

Pencil drawing on paper depicting a man in profile, wearing a tall bonnet. The face, with pronounced features, is constructed by a precise outline and light hatching on the cheek and neck.

This sheet from the 1960s combines a taste for costumes inspired by antiquity with a careful study of the face. Françoise Begnat-Borde’s figurative style expresses itself here through the clarity of the lines and the restraint of the modeling.

Inscribed with the artist’s name on the sheet. The condition and marks of the paper are visible in the photographs.
