Mid-Century Modern School – Stylized Charcoal Portrait of a Girl (Manner of Roger Etienne), Circa 1950s/1960s An expressive mid-century modern portrait drawing depicting a young woman with a stylized, voluminous bohemian hairstyle. Rendered in deep, smoky charcoal tones over a warm peach/tan tinted background wash, the work emphasizes large, soulful, wide-set eyes characteristic of the post-war European and American illustrative movements. The aesthetic technique, subject presentation, and distinctive linework heavily resemble the mid-20th-century portfolio of French-American artist Roger Etienne.
