Julio González - Portrait

Charcoal on paper. (Estimated 1896-1900).
Approx. 1896-1900 estimated.
Dimensions: 19 x 27 cm.

This delicate charcoal portrait of Julio González reveals the artist's most intimate and academic side during his early formative years. The female profile, built with a confident line and subtle shading, shows González's interest in anatomical study, light, and formal synthesis—traits he would later transfer to his revolutionary iron sculpture. The simplicity of the framing and the serenity of the gesture make the work an exceptional testament to the artist's creative process and the modernist sensibility of the late 19th century.

A particularly attractive piece for collectors seeking early works and original drawings by one of the great names in 20th-century art.
