EDMOND FRAN€OIS AMAN-JEAN

Buste de femme. Color pastels on cream laid paper mounted on wove paper, circa 1890. 547x412 mm; 21 1/2x16 1/4 inches. Signed in pastel, lower left recto. Aman-Jean (1858-1936) created delicate portraits of women, such as the current drawing, which recall the works of the English Pre-Raphaelites. At the close of the 19th-century he shared a studio with his friend Georges Seurat.
