About the Item

Dorothy Eardley Wilmot Charcoal on paper (circa 1917) This finely executed charcoal drawing presents a sensitive academic study of a classical male torso, inspired by Greco-Roman sculpture and rendered with strong command of form, proportion, and light. The artist skillfully models the muscular planes through subtle gradations of tone, achieving a sculptural depth that reflects rigorous academic training. The composition emphasizes the elegance of the profile and the introspective expression of the subject, with carefully observed transitions between highlight and shadow. The drawing’s confident line and controlled chiaroscuro suggest it was executed as part of formal atelier or academy study, a tradition central to European and American art education at the turn of the 20th century. Executed on watermarked Michallet, France textured paper and retaining its original surface, the work displays natural age toning and minor edge wear consistent with its age, enhancing its authenticity and studio character. Academic figure studies of this quality are increasingly sought after for their decorative presence and their direct connection to classical artistic traditions.
