Original Spiral-Bound Sketchbook with Charcoal and Graphite Sketches by Jean Larry

This item is an original spiral-bound sketchbook featuring expressive figurative and symbolic drawings by Jean Larry. The medium appears to be a combination of charcoal, graphite, and possibly ink on white or off-white paper. The left-hand page displays an abstract landscape or cavernous scene with organic, jagged vertical forms and celestial-like four-pointed stars, signed 'Jean L.' in the lower-right quadrant. The right-hand page features a more structured composition depicting a stone wall or grid pattern with a centrally placed stylized figure and a banner or flag at the top that seems to be dripping; this page is also signed 'Jean Larry' in the lower-right corner. Physically, the book is a standard top-wire spiral-bound sketchbook, shown flat to reveal two facing pages. The size is approximately 11 to 12 inches wide when open, based on the dry-wall T-square ruler visible at the bottom of the frame. The condition appears to be fair to good, with some evidence of handling wear, minor smudging characteristic of charcoal medium, and slight yellowing of the paper edges typical of mid-to-late 20th-century paper stock. The drawings demonstrate a unique, raw stylistic approach with heavy emphasis on line and contrast, suggesting a contemporary or folk-art aesthetic. No significant tears or major structural damage are visible in the photograph, though page edges show minor ruffling.
