Mid Century French Pencil Portrait of a Woman

Title: Mid Century French Pencil Portrait of a Woman Artist: Josine Vignon (French 1922-2022) Medium: Pencil on paper Size: 11 (height) x 7.5 (width) Stamped: Verso Condition: Good Provenance: All the paintings we have by this artist have come from the artist’s estate Description: This pencil drawing by Josine Vignon features a detailed portrait of a woman, possibly the artist’s mother, as suggested by the inscription “Maman.” The drawing captures the subject seated, with her hands gently resting on a surface in front of her. Vignon’s use of shading and line work brings out the depth and character of the subject, creating a somber yet intimate atmosphere. The facial expression, combined with the careful rendering of the hair and clothing, suggests a moment of quiet reflection. This drawing would be a valuable addition for collectors interested in portraiture and works that convey a deep emotional connection between the artist and the subject.
