Drawing Of Two Enlaced Chimpanzes - Mixed Media On Paper - 20th Century

Moving drawing depicting two chimpanzees entwined in a circular composition, treated with sensitivity and expressiveness.

The work, created in mixed media (charcoal, black stone and colored highlights) on paper, is distinguished by the quality of the modeling and the finesse of the line. The looks, particularly worked in, give the scene an almost anthropomorphic dimension, evoking tenderness and protection.

The treatment in broad dark masses contrasting with a warm background highlights the volumes and reinforces the intensity of the subject. This type of work is part of a twentieth-century tradition of animal drawing, at the crossroads of naturalistic study and artistic expression.

The set is presented under glass, in a frame with wide passe-partout and burl veneer baguette.

Good overall condition.
A few slight traces of age on the paper, without altering legibility.
