Original Graphite Sketches by Jean Larry in Spiral-Bound Sketchbook

This item consists of two original graphite on paper illustrations contained within a standard spiral-bound sketchbook, attributed to the artist Jean Larry. The left-hand page features a surreal or abstract landscape with a central human-like silhouette appearing to emerge from or float above a textured, mountainous horizon. The right-hand page depicts a detailed architectural dome, reminiscent of classical or Renaissance structures, rendered with significant cross-hatching and shading to suggest depth and form. Both pages feature the artist's distinctive 'JLP' or 'JL' initials/monogram in large, bold graphite strokes. The paper appears to be a medium-weight, off-white sketchbook stock, showing slight yellowing consistent with age. Notable condition issues include minor smudging of the graphite, light corner curling, and slight fraying along the spiral perforated edge. The craftsmanship displays a confident use of line and varying pressure to create value, indicating a skilled hand. Based on the materials and style, these sketches likely date from the late 20th century to the early 21st century. The sketchbook is shown against a scale for reference, appearing to be approximately 9 to 12 inches in height.
