Jean Larry 'Scratches' Original Sketchbook Drawing

This item is an original, two-page spread within a vertical spiral-bound sketchbook, featuring mixed media drawings (likely crayon, colored pencil, or oil pastel) by artist Jean Larry. The left page displays a stylized, humanoid figure with a rectangular torso and a diamond-shaped lower body, set against a dark, heavily textured blue background filled with circular or 'bubble' motifs. The figure's face is minimalist with wide-set eyes and a simple line for a mouth. The right page features more abstract geometric forms, including a prominent red vertical bar and a blue cube emblazoned with a white star, reminiscent of American folk motifs. A cursive signature or title, appearing to read 'Jean L', is scrawled in red on the far right edge. Generally, the work showcases a raw, outsider art style with heavy pressure application and visible wax buildup. The paper appears to be standard white sketchbook grade, showing some age-toning and minor handling wear along the edges. Based on the style and medium, it likely dates to the late 20th or early 21st century. The spiral binding remains intact, though the paper exhibits slight undulation typical of mixed media application on sketchbook-weight stock.
