An elegant original pastel and charcoal drawing by noted Russian-American artist Sasha Brastoff (1918–1993), signed and dated 1965. Executed with Brastoff’s unmistakable lyrical line, this expressive female nude combines sweeping charcoal contours with soft pastel modeling on warm-toned paper. The elongated figure and stylized facial features exemplify the sophisticated modernist aesthetic that made Brasroff’s work highly sought after by collectors of Mid-Century decorative art. Professionally matted and presented in a handsome warm mahogany-toned frame under conservation UV-protective glass, the drawing is ready to hang and would make an exceptional addition to a Mid-Century Modern, Hollywood Regency, or contemporary interior. A refined and highly decorative original work from the artist’s mature period.
