Bust of Venus – Charcoal Drawing, circa 1920s

A stunning neoclassical workshop study, this charcoal drawing captures the timeless elegance of Venus, rendered with remarkable depth and precision. Likely created in the 1920s, the piece showcases a delicate balance of light and shadow, emphasizing the soft curvature and sculptural presence of the bust.

The dramatic contrast of the bold, striped background against the classical form enhances the composition, lending it a strikingly modern edge. Notably, the pinholes and contours of the fixing trace remain visible—subtle marks that speak to its authentic origins, once pinned to the plaster walls of an artist’s atelier.
