Tamara de Lempicka’s drawings reveal the precision and refinement that underpinned her celebrated paintings. Often executed in pencil, charcoal or ink, they showcase her ability to define the human form with controlled, flowing lines. Her preparatory sketches for portraits and figure studies display a mastery of structure, capturing the elegance and strength of her subjects. Influenced by classical sculpture and the streamlined aesthetic of Art Deco, her draughtsmanship is characterised by sharp contours, subtle shading and a polished, architectural quality. While less well known than her paintings, Lempicka’s drawings provide an intimate insight into her creative process.
