About This Item
Two exquisite pencil portraits signed "Audin," each measuring 25 x 19.5 cm. Both drawings feature the same inscription on the reverse: "Signed 'Audin'. Unknown portraitist. Purchased in France in the 1930s. Pencil drawing. Preserved for its excellent work." These pieces exemplify the delicate and realistic style of 19th-century Russian portraiture. Despite being relatively unknown, "Audin" demonstrates a remarkable ability to capture the essence of the subjects with precision and elegance.<br /> <br /> The first portrait showcases a refined woman in period-specific attire, her hair styled in a neat, middle-parted fashion typical of the era. The second portrait features a dignified man in a military uniform, complete with shoulder epaulettes and a sword, indicating his rank. Both portraits are rendered with delicate lines and careful shading, highlighting the artist's proficiency in realistic representation and meticulous detail.
