Odilon Roche - 1868-1947 - Studies Of Girls Gold Seal

Original pencil drawing on laid paper with a watermark, depicting four studies of young girls, treated as studies of attitudes and movements.
The sheet brings together several poses observed from life: a girl standing in profile, as well as various natural attitudes from everyday life, drawn with spontaneity and keen observation.
The work as a whole demonstrates studio practice, characteristic of academic art at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries, where the artist focused on capturing the accuracy of postures and proportions rather than an elaborate narrative scene.

The sheet bears the studio stamp “Atelier O.R.” surmounted by a crown in the lower right corner, attesting to its origin.
Antique laid paper with a legible watermark.
Technique: pencil on laid paper with watermark.
Dimensions: 36.7 × 28 cm.
Condition: good overall condition, slight yellowing of the paper, no tears or restoration.

An interesting work due to its documentary and academic nature, intended for collectors of studio drawings, figurative studies, and preparatory works.
