Charcoal with Birds, European School, 19th Century

Descriptio Charcoal drawing on paper. Dimensions: 17 x 11 cm (unframed), 24 x 18 cm (framed). The scene shows an old man with a full beard and a heavy coat, surrounded by small birds fluttering around him. The strokes are light but expressive, defining the forms through progressive shading that suggests texture and atmosphere. The central figure, slightly hunched, is integrated into an undefined space dominated by the subtlety of graphite and diffused light. This drawing, with a costumbrista and humanist tone, is part of the nineteenth-century tradition of life study, where direct observation is combined with a simple and melancholic poetic approach. The artist’s sensitivity is evident in the tenderness of the gesture and the delicacy of the lines, which evoke the passage of time and the spiritual connection with nature. 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.
