François De Herain (1877–1962) - Portrait Of A Woman - Colored Drawing

François de Hérain (1877–1962) was a French draftsman and painter trained in the academic tradition of the turn of the 20th century. His pencil portraits with white highlights, executed with great finesse, demonstrate a mastery of classical drawing and a particular sensitivity to the psychology of the face.

This highlighted drawing (pencil and white highlights), dating from the 1900s–1920s, depicts a feminine portrait of great tenderness. The face, delicately modeled by the white highlights against a beige paper background, emerges with a striking presence. The paper shows a slight patina consistent with its age. The work is presented in an antique gilded frame.
