Three Original Life Study Nude Figure Sketches – Studio of William Greengrass (1896–1970)

A group of three original charcoal life study sketches depicting female nude figures, each bearing the studio stamp to the reverse:

Studio of William Greengrass (1896–1970)

The drawings are unsigned and appear to have been removed from an artist's working sketchbook or studio portfolio. Each is executed with confident, economical charcoal lines typical of academic life drawing, concentrating on anatomy, movement and form rather than finished presentation.

William Greengrass (1896–1970) was a British artist and illustrator, and these studies originate from his studio, making them interesting examples of mid-20th century artistic practice. While unsigned, the reverse studio stamp provides provenance linking them to the Greengrass studio.

Each sheet measures approximately:

Height: 39 cm
Width: 28 cm

The sketches are sold together as a collection of three.

They would display well either individually or as a framed group and would appeal to collectors of original drawings, artists, life study material or decorative studio artwork.
