WOMAN DRYING HERSELF

Soyer, Raphael. WOMAN DRYING HERSELF. Drawing, charcoal and watercolor on laid paper, circa 1940. Inscribed and signed lower right, in ink. 19 x 12 1/2 inches (sheet). This drawing is closely related to Soyer's color lithograph "Young Woman Drying Herself," of 1940, Cole 57a., and is likely a preparatory study for it. Sensitive and exquisite, the drawing is superior to the lithograph in both its draughtsmanship and in the coloring. In excellent condition, but with instructions for framing or reproducing written in Soyer's hand at the bottom of the sheet, just below the image.
