Pair of Academic Charcoal Drawings

Pair of 19th-century Italian academic charcoal drawings. These vividly rendered drawings are classical studies of the male nude figure; one depicts an artist's model and the other a young musician.  Displayed as a diptych or separately, the pair produces a harmonious sense of visual symmetry. 

Italy, circa 1880
