Untitled (Costume study) c. 19th century

"Untitled (Costume Study)" is a pencil drawing created by French artist Alfred Grévin circa the 19th century. The drawing, now housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, features three separate sketches, each depicting a different figure in a distinct costume. These studies, likely created for theatrical purposes, showcase Grévin’s masterful use of line and form in capturing the details of clothing and posture. The loose and expressive style of the sketches further emphasizes the immediacy of Grévin’s creative process.
