Bargue Plate I-16 Hand of a Woman

Plate from Charles Bargue Drawing Course depicting a woman's hand with fingers slightly bent in a supple, delicate gesture.The drawing is very finely executed in a range of grays, delicately revealing semi-diffused lighting.This makes it a particularly interesting model for working with subtle values. The Bargue plate has been carefully restored before being printed in lithography at full-size and high-resolution, so that it can be made available to art students as it was originally in the 19th century. Printed on a 19th-century lithographic press, on grey-blue tinted fine art paper (350g). Ideal for charcoal or graphite pencil copying. Plate Size: 17 in x 24"
