About the Item

Émile-Othon Friesz (1879–1949) — Female Portrait, circa 1925–1935 Original pencil drawing on laid paper. Portrait of a woman with her head slightly tilted, rendered with a lively and concise line, characteristic of Friesz's mature period. A great economy of means expresses the essential: a few confident lines suffice to establish the presence of the model, her expression, and the balance of volumes, without graphic overload. Émile-Othon Friesz, a French painter and draughtsman born in Le Havre in 1879 and died in Paris in 1949, is one of the major figures of French modernism. A contemporary of Matisse, Dufy, and Braque, he participated in Fauvism before adopting a more personal, structured, and sensitive style, always seeking the essence in line and movement. Sight dimensions: 19 × 22 cm (≈ 7.5 × 8.7 in) Framed dimensions: 33 × 37 cm (≈ 13.0 × 14.6 in) Gilt-edged frame, antique mount. An old red sticker is present on the reverse, possibly indicating a collection inventory or a gallery sale mark. Good overall condition. Provenance: private collection.
