Figure Study, 1940s
Quiet Repose
AED 1,850
The line of the shoulder carries the entire drawing. Around it, charcoal is rubbed into broad shadow then tightened into a few decisive contours. Earlier marks remain visible, recording the artist's corrections rather than hiding them. The study is unsigned and its maker is not known, but the purpose of the drawing is clear: not to catalogue a body but to understand its weight. Its force comes from selection, knowing exactly which lines to keep.
