Petite Fille

Petite Fille is a wonderful original pencil drawing on ivory-colored cardboard realized in 1905 by the French artist and illustrator Edouard Leverd (?-1953).

This modern artwork represents an anatomical study of a skull of a child of 8 years in four different points of view, each of these with an autonomous artistic dignity. A superb line accompanied with an incredible technique of the chiaroscuro exalts the meticulous study.

With autograph pencil inscriptions on the lower right margin: " X he = 1905 / petite fille 8 ans " followed by monogram in pencil where " EL " is readable.

In good conditions, except for discoloration of the paper on the lower margin and some light stains of humidity, these defects do not affect the image.
