Profile 1952

"Profile", a 1952 charcoal drawing by Tsuguharu Foujita, showcases the artist's refined line work and delicate shading. The subject, a woman with a black ribbon tied in her hair, is rendered in profile, emphasizing the graceful curve of her neck and the subtle contours of her face. Foujita's signature, "Foujita Paris", at the bottom right corner places the work within the context of his artistic career in France, where he developed his distinctive style and gained international recognition. The minimalist composition and sensitive portrayal of the subject reflect the artist's signature elegance and artistic sensibility.
