Original Expressionist Mixed Media Sketches by Jean Larry

This item consists of two original expressionist sketches contained within a spiral-bound sketchbook, attributed to the artist Jean Larry. The medium appears to be blue charcoal or oil pastel mixed with possible watercolor washes or graphite on white paper. The left-hand panel depicts a stylized human figure interacting with a large glass bottle or vessel, accompanied by falling droplets and a house-like shape in the background. The right-hand panel shows a collection of abstracted cylindrical or horn-like forms and a central bicep-like organic shape against a geometric, brick-like grid. Both pieces feature heavy, expressive line work and a monochromatic blue-toned color palette with subtle red highlights on the left page. The sketchbook is approximately 12-14 inches wide when open, based on the adjacent T-square ruler. The paper shows slight yellowing, foxing, and minor corner wear consistent with a 20th-century contemporary artwork. The artist's signature or initials appear in the bottom right corner of the left-side illustration. The craftsmanship demonstrates a confident, gestural hand and a focus on surrealist motifs. Condition is fair to good, with some visible smudging characteristic of charcoal/pastel mediums and edge curling on the spiral binding side.
