The Geneviève - Original Vintage French Sketch

A beautiful vintage French figurative study depicting a seated female figure, rendered in expressive pencil with soft, gestural shading. There is something wonderfully quiet and intimate about this piece, from the simplicity of the composition to the natural age and patina of the paper.

Signed by the artist and inscribed “à mes amis Jean et Geneviève” - “to my friends Jean and Geneviève” - a sweet little dedication that gives a glimpse into the personal history behind the work and is always such a lovely detail to find.

Presented in a slender gilt frame with aged ivory matting, both showing wear and patina consistent with age. A beautifully understated piece that would be just as lovely hung on its own as layered into a collected gallery wall.
