Original Blue Crayon Sketches by Jean Larry

This is a two-page spread within a metal spiral-bound sketchbook featuring original artwork by Jean Larry. The left page displays an abstract composition of overlapping tubular forms and cloud-like spheres, rendered in monochromatic blue. The right page features a stylized humanoid torso and head, also in blue, donning a shirt marked with a central cross. The figure has distinct large eyes and a somewhat sculptural, simplified form. Both drawings are executed in what appears to be blue crayon or soft pastel on white or off-white paper. Notably, the right page bears the artist's signature 'Jean Larry' in the lower right corner. The sketchbook exhibits visible wear, including slight yellowing of the paper edges, minor creasing, and smudging inherent to the medium. The metal coil binding shows some oxidation consistent with age. Measuring approximately 12 inches in width when open, the work reflects a mid-to-late 20th-century naive or outsider art style, characterized by bold lines and symbolic imagery. The craftsmanship is expressive and fluid, indicating a focus on creative impulse over technical perfection.
