AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
M. Lambert — Study of a sculpted bust
Charcoal and crayon on paper. France. Dating: circa 1940–1950. Period: 1940s.
Unframed dimensions: 63 cm high × 48 cm wide.
Signed M. Lambert at the bottom right.
This drawing depicts a female bust carved in sculpture, with curled hair and draped shoulders. The modeling of the face, neck, and folds rests on a subtle gradation of shadows. The subject reflects careful observation from a volume model.
The crayon defines the outlines and the curls; the charcoal develops the shadows and the background. The reserves of the paper suggest the illuminated parts of the model.
This study by M. Lambert sits within the tradition of drawing after sculpture. The attention to modeling, to the loops of hair, and to the drapery reveals a precise exploration of volumes. The softness of the shadows and the light left on the face confer a serene and elegant presence to this bust.
Condition: Paper yellowed, small surface marks and traces visible.
Sold without the frame.
