Original Eugene Delacroix is an original pen and ink, guaranteed authentic with studio stamp and COA. This Art was featured on the History channel show Pawn StarsThroughout his career, Eugène Delacroix (1798–1863) was a prolific draftsman, known for a style of drawing favoring energy, approximation, and ellipsis over careful precision and detail. In the last years of his life, he produced a distinct group of ink drawings in which these features are dramatically prominent. Individual pen strokes are thick and decisive, and spaced widely enough to assert their individuality, thereby calling attention to their gestural energy and rapid, improvisational rhythms.?? Between 1850 and 1863, Delacroix used this mode of drawing in different subject categories, including figures, compositional studies, landscapes, studies of animals, and copies.?? As if to indicate self–sufficient completeness, Delacroix added dates to many of them; this contrasts with his customary practice of covering undated sheets with images recording moments in an ongoing train of graphic thought and immediate execution. 8 x 10.5 in.
