Bidspirit auction | Drawing of a girl, Spanish

Drawing of a girl, Spanish School, 19th Century - Graphite on paper. Dimensions: 11 x 11 cm; framed 28 x 26 cm. A child's portrait inscribed in a circular format, depicting the face of a sleeping or reposeful girl, captured with great delicacy and psychological sensitivity. The composition focuses attention on the soft features and serene expression of the figure, achieved through subtle modeling of light and shadow that lends depth and volume. The wavy hair and barely sketched clothing reinforce the intimate and spontaneous character of the drawing. The technique reveals a light and ethereal brushstroke, reminiscent of academic studies and 19th-century domestic portraits, where economy of means is combined with remarkable expressive power. The decorative mounting and historicist frame enhance the sentimental and collectable nature of the piece.
