Leonard Tsuguharu Foujita Appraisal

Limited Edition Figurine Sketch by Leonard Tsuguharu Foujita (Attributed)

This artwork is a limited edition print, specifically an etching or lithograph, featuring two ethereal figures in an intimate pose. The piece is numbered '2/120' in the lower-left margin, indicating a relatively small production run. The central composition depicts a male and female figure rendered with delicate, flowing line work characteristic of mid-20th-century Romanticism or Surrealist influences. The figures are surrounded by soft, wash-like tones of grey and sepia, creating a dreamlike atmosphere. The ink lines are precise, showing expert draftsmanship. In the lower margin, there is a distinct signature, possibly that of the artist Leonard Tsuguharu Foujita or a similar modernist master, though further authentication would be required to confirm the artist's hand. The paper appears to be a high-quality heavy cream or off-white stock, matted in a bright white window. The condition appears excellent with no visible foxing, tears, or staining within the image plate, though a strong horizontal glare from a camera flash is present on the protective glass. The plate mark is clearly visible around the image, which is a standard indicator of a traditional printmaking process. The style suggests a period between the 1920s and 1950s, often referred to as the 'School of Paris' era.
