About this artwork

Portrait of a Young Girl — Eugene Speicher. 1930.

Medium: black crayon or charcoal, with stumping and scratching out. Dimensions: Sheet: 34.6 x 27.9 cm (13 5/8 x 11 in.).

Collection record: The Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland. Museum connection according to this source; current display unverified.

Speicher's drawings, especially those in crayon or charcoal, have a directness of expression that combines stylized features with powerful emotion. This sheet is signed and dedicated to a "Joe Marguy," perhaps a relative of the young subject of this compelling portrait. A popular portraitist, Speicher worked in a style influenced by his teacher Robert Henri (1865-1929). In 1906 Speicher entered the Art Students League in New York to study with William Merrit Chase (1849-1916). He enjoyed a successful career from the 1920s onward.
