About the Item

Title: Signed 1999 Venus de Milo Study Charcoal Drawing Medium: Charcoal on paper, unframed Size: 25.25 x 19.85 inches (height x width) Signed: Yes – signed and dated upper right. Inscription: L. Ravin – 29 Mai 1999 Provenance: private collection Condition: Edge wear and small lower margin losses. Light surface marks and minor staining. Slight paper undulation. Minor creasing Description: A signed and dated charcoal study of the Venus de Milo, executed by L. Ravin on 29 May 1999. This classical figure study depicts the iconic armless Venus de Milo cast, rendered with careful tonal modelling and disciplined draftsmanship. The artist focuses on sculptural structure, emphasising the torso’s anatomical planes and the dramatic fall of drapery across the lower body. The controlled charcoal shading creates depth and volume, while the upper torso is handled with lighter, more delicate modelling. The study reflects traditional academic training methods still practiced in late 20th-century atelier environments, where plaster casts of classical sculpture remain foundational teaching tools. Signed and clearly dated, the drawing offers both decorative appeal and contemporary academic authenticity. Unframed and suitable for conservation mounting.
