Symbolic charcoal composition of female bodies. Signed, to be identified—20th century Pencil drawing. Dimensions: 95 x 69 cm and 99 x 74 cm. A dreamlike composition in which a compact mass of nude female bodies floats in the upper part of the composition, creating an organic cloud of rounded shapes and suspended gestures. In the lower left corner, a female figure shields herself with an umbrella, suggesting a visual metaphor for desire, vulnerability, and memory. The linework is precise and delicate, with subtle chiaroscuro effects that lend volume to the figures and create atmospheric nuances. The ethereal textures and tonal transitions enhance the emotional expressiveness of the entire piece. The artist’s visible signature places this piece within a contemporary aesthetic that combines surrealist and symbolic elements—characteristic of 20th-century art—in a reflection on the body and the intangible. The work stands out for its visual power, semantic density, and mastery of drawing. Due to its age and history of use, this lot may show signs of wear and previous interventions. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, no specialized technical testing has been performed. The absence of any mention of restorations does not guarantee that none exist. You may request additional information before placing a bid. This does not affect the buyer’s statutory rights.
