Christian Tuncia (1798-1868): Still Life Pencil Study - Early 19th Century

*

Obviously not a nude, but still worthy of praise and exhibition. I found this beautiful pencil on paper academic study (below) listed by an old friend on eBay Germany which dates from the early to mid 19th century. It is a beautiful example of draftsman, artistic observation, and down right tight control of that ornery gray scale that eludes most modern art students. I would love to see an academic nude by Tuncia. I will bet you a pretty that it would be a beaut. I did find two examples of his painting expertise (directly above).
