Description
Drawing of an elderly gentleman, Signed, Spanish School, 19th century Graphite on paper. Dimensions: 24 x 17 cm; framed 25 x 19 cm. A three-quarter bust portrait of a man, facing left, characterised by a long beard and a full head of grey hair. The subject is dressed in a jacket and an open-necked shirt, rendered with quick, confident strokes that lend a sense of naturalness and dynamism to the composition. The meditative expression and the depth of the gaze are achieved through delicate tonal gradations and atmospheric modelling with clear academic roots. Signed. The work demonstrates a remarkable mastery of observational drawing, particularly in the anatomical construction of the face and the depiction of hair textures. Its spontaneous and direct style draws on the tradition of genre portraiture and the psychological studies developed in Europe during the 19th century.
