Art Deco Seated Nude Pencil Sketch, France, 1920s

This Art Deco pencil sketch from the 1920s depicts a seated nude woman with softly waved hair, drop earrings and an elegantly extended pose. Warm reddish-brown lines and delicate shading trace the figure against lightly toned paper, with loosely drawn drapery falling over the chair. A chocolate-brown fabric surround and subtly ornamented silver-tone frame complement the drawing’s warm palette.
