Original Blue Crayon/Pastel Sketches by Jean Larry in Spiral-Bound Notebook

This item is a spiral-bound artist's sketchbook featuring two side-by-side original drawings executed in blue crayon or soft pastel, attributed to Jean Larry. The left-hand page depicts a surreal composition featuring a large bottle at a diagonal angle containing a face, with liquid droplets falling toward a stylized human figure below. It includes a visible signature 'Jean Larry' in the lower right quadrant. The right-hand page presents a more abstract, geometric study of curved tubular forms and a muscular arm-like shape, utilizing varying pressures of blue pigment to create depth and texture. The paper shows signs of age with some yellowing and soft creasing at the edges. The drawings exhibit a raw, expressive style characteristic of mid-to-late 20th-century figurative abstraction. Based on the accompanying T-square for scale, each page measures approximately 9 to 10 inches in width. The spiral binding remains intact, suggesting these are original studies directly from the artist’s personal collection or process work. The blue monochromatic palette suggests a cohesive thematic exploration or a specific series of conceptual sketches.
