Portrait of a man in pastel under glass, signed, early 20th century.

Male portrait in three-quarters view, with a deep gaze and a composed expression, typical of the bourgeois aesthetic of the 1900s–1920s. Mixed technique of pastel and charcoal on Velin d'Arches paper. The delicate modelling of the face, the warm tones of the brown background, and the subtle treatment of shadows give the whole piece a beautiful presence and authentic charm. The drawing is presented under glass in an antique moulded wooden frame with a light patina, chosen to highlight its character and emphasise its period atmosphere. Note: slight signs of age consistent with the work's antiquity. Frame dimensions 60 X 47 cm // Drawing dimensions 33 X 46 cm.
