Set of 15 pieces, consisting of fifteen academic drawings executed in charcoal and charcoal pencil on heavy paper

This set of 15 pieces includes fifteen academic drawings executed in charcoal and charcoal pencil on heavy paper. Several sheets bear the vertical embossed watermark “C.M. FABRIANO - 100/100 COTONE” along the edges, indicating the use of high-quality, 100 percent cotton art paper. The subjects are characteristic of traditional studio art training and include studies of classical sculpture, such as Michelangelo’s David and various fragments of heads, full-figure studies, anatomical studies of hands, an equestrian statue, and several still-life compositions featuring vases, fruit, and geometric shapes. The style is strictly academic, with a marked emphasis on the rendering of volume, form, and tonal gradation achieved through the chiaroscuro technique. One drawing depicts a standing female figure and is signed “An. Adam” in the lower left corner. The remaining drawings, consistent in style and medium, can be attributed to the circle of the 20th-century artist Adriana Bonisconti, as indicated by comparisons with similar works on the specialized art market.
