Edgar Scauflaire (1893–1960) - Gypsy

Edgar Scauflaire (1893–1960) — Gypsy, 1921 Original drawing in pencil and dry pastel on kraft paper, signed and dated 'Scauflaire 1921'. This portrait depicts a young woman with her face slightly turned toward the viewer. Executed on kraft paper with warm tones, the drawing combines the precision of graphite with touches of dry pastel that subtly color the face and hair. The whole maintains a great simplicity of facture, with a particularly expressive presence despite the relatively intimate format of the sheet. The drawing is made on kraft paper of about 21 × 21.5 cm, itself mounted on a larger support sheet. There is no matte: the surrounding support of the kraft is directly part of the presentation of the work. The inner frame size is about 26 × 31 cm and the whole is presented in a sober and elegant frame of 37.5 × 42 cm. Dated 1921, this drawing belongs to the early years of Edgar Scauflaire's career, a period during which the artist gives significant importance to drawing and notably works with graphite and pastel. This early period is particularly interesting in his artistic development, before the more assertive development of his pictorial explorations in the following years.
