Great Drawing Expressionist Portrait 1924

When a dozen years ago I bought this beautiful drawing, it was called "Portrait of Beethoven". I doubt that this is a representation of the great composer, but the force that emanated me had it put aside and yesterday, I fall back on a search in good standing of a lot (that I have not found) in all my cartons drawings and suddenly I exhumed from his long exile! Made of charcoal, white stone and stained on a paper 57 X 43 cm red brick but has since faded, mounted under marie-louise camouflaging small peripheral accidents 70 X 50 cm. Vertical wear on the left side of the face. It bears a signature trace that I have not deciphered in the middle left and the date 1924. Attention: very present work crushing a little bit its neighbors! Other photos and many other objects in our shops in Pau and Biarritz and on our website: galerielhoste.com.
