AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
French School of the 19th Century — In the Style of Raphael — Portrait of a Young Man
Charcoal and graphite on paper. France. Dating: Around 1890–1900. Period: 1890s.
Frame-free dimensions: 27 cm high × 18 cm wide.
Unsigned.
A young man wearing a beret and with long hair is represented bust-length, his face turned toward the viewer. The softness of the transitions and the attentive gaze give the drawing a calm presence. The composition clearly recalls the famous self-portrait by Raphael kept at the Uffizi.
Graphite defines the lines, while charcoal strengthens the shadows of the headdress, the hair, and the neck. The modeling remains deliberately soft.
This French study from the late 19th century attests to the taste for Renaissance masters. The beret, the coiffure, and the orientation of the face evoke Raphael's Self-Portrait preserved at the Uffizi Gallery in Florence. Presented in the style of Raphael, the drawing appeals with the softness of the modeling and the quiet intensity of the gaze.
Condition: Yellowed paper and slight creases; edge irregularities.
Sold without the frame.
