“The Portrait” by Geneviève Zondervan (French 1922-2013) pencil/ charcoal on thick paper, unframed paper size: 24.75 x 19 inches Beautifully decorative, mid 1900-1999 French original drawing by the French artist, Geneviève Zondervan (French 1922-2013). The work is stamped, verso. The painting has excellent provenance, having come from the artists estate in France. Zondervan’s work has a beautifully tranquil and light feel to it, with a sense of space and time. Zondervan served on the committee of the International Biennale des Femmes Peintres et Sculpteurs and was a frequent exhibitor with them, as well as at the Salon des Independants since 1950 and Salon de Montrouge (Silver Medal, 1974). Condition report: The drawing is in sound condition, though with old smudges and a few edge ‘gnarls/ tears’ to the very edges (which would not show once framed).
