This lot comprises a collection of original artworks on paper by multiple hands, primarily featuring mid-20th-century figure studies, portraits, and landscapes. The collection is accompanied by a instructional art book titled Drawing the Figure by Russell Iredell, published by Walter T. Foster. The most prominent work is a finished graphite portrait of a woman in profile wearing a fur-trimmed garment and a double-strand pearl necklace, signed lower right: Dorothy V. Malecki. Numerous other sketches are executed in pen and ink, graphite, charcoal, and blue ink wash. Notable subjects include a series of academic gesture drawings on toned wove paper, frequently inscribed with time limits such as 3 min and 4 min and the notation Gesturing. Several drawings are signed or inscribed by G. Aldridge and Yvonne Aldridge, including pen and ink portraits of seated figures and figure studies. Landscape subjects include charcoal and graphite renderings of rustic cabins, woods, and stone bridges. One sheet features a collection of ink portraits, while another verso is inscribed in pencil: PICASSO and #5 Sketchbook GUILBERT. The works vary in style from formal academic realism to rapid, loose sketching. The Walter T. Foster book features a color-printed cover and contains numerous instructional illustrations.
