Description:
This elegant graphite drawing by French modernist Guy Nicod captures the quiet introspection of a seated young woman rendered with precision and sensitivity. The composition, built on fine tonal gradations and assured line work, reflects Nicod’s refined draughtsmanship and his ability to convey emotion through subtle gestures.
The sitter’s expression—poised yet pensive—anchors the composition, while the softly sketched background of trees and architectural elements introduces spatial rhythm without detracting from her calm presence. Nicod’s use of diagonal lines and shading creates a delicate tension between figure and setting, drawing the viewer’s eye toward the hands and face, which are rendered with particular care.
Executed with both structural clarity and emotional depth, this portrait exemplifies Nicod’s post-war commitment to expressive realism. It bears the hallmarks of mid-20th-century French atelier training, where observational rigor met modernist sensibility. The result is a timeless and evocative study that merges psychological insight with compositional harmony.
Sourced directly from the artist’s estate in France, this drawing is a fine example of Nicod’s lesser-seen figurative studies—ideal for collectors interested in French modern portraiture and the artistry of line.
