Eric Pape Original Waxy Crayon Figure Study on Drafting Vellum
Item Details
An original 1932 waxy black crayon on semi-translucent drafting vellum by well-listed American artist Frederic L. Pape, who went more commonly by the name Eric Pape (1870 – 1938). The drawing depicts a moustached man riffling through a stack of papers and gazing towards the viewer. The figure’s face is drawn with particular detail, featuring delicate cross-hatching and thoughtful shading. The drawing is presented without matting or framing, awaiting your choice of presentation. It is signed and dated in black to the lower left. Pape studied at the San Francisco School of Design and exhibited and was published extensively worldwide, gaining fame particularly for his renowned illustrations. Late in his career, he founded the Eric Pape School of Art in Boston.
