Description: This listing is for a superb large academic drawing of a standing male nude, executed in charcoal on laid watermarked paper. Though unsigned, the study comes from the French school. An inscription on the back reads "Paris. 9 Mai 1885." The watermarks read PL Bas and ED&C in a circular motif. I recently included this study in my first catalog, "Collecting the Male Nude," and several images from that publication are included here for reference. If you would like a PDF copy of the catalog, please reach out. Drawing measures approximately 18 1/2”w x 24 1/4”h. The sheet is in overall good condition with light soiling and surface imperfections, including minor wear near the edges and a few small folds. Note faint creasing across the center, possibly from folding long ago. See images to verify condition and feel free to ask questions.
