Emotional Presence in a Seated Figures Drawing
This Seated Figures Drawing presents an expressive study in quiet emotion. Attributed to Ramón Jou Senabre, it captures two individuals—possibly a couple—seated in subtle tension. Their gestures lean inward, yet their expressions remain distant. The effect suggests conversation, hesitation, or silent understanding.
Senabre uses rhythmic charcoal lines and soft pastel tones to shape both form and atmosphere. His stylized figures, with angular faces and fluid garments, emphasize emotional resonance over literal detail. In particular, the warmth of the pastel balances the boldness of the charcoal, creating visual harmony.
Paired Drawing: Portrait of a Lady
This drawing is sold alongside Portrait of a Lady, another piece attributed to the same artist. Together, the framed works create a compelling dialogue. Portrait of a Lady focuses on solitude, while the Seated Figures Drawing emphasizes relational complexity. Framed archivally, both pieces are ready for display.
Framed and Offered as a Pair
Art Post Gallery framed the drawing in 2025 using museum-standard materials. Since no restoration was necessary, the original surface remains untouched. As part of a paired offering, this work will appeal to collectors interested in figurative drawing, Spanish modernism, or expressive works on paper.
