Striking original pencil drawing titled “Ballerina” by California artist H.C. Newton, associated with Santa Fe Springs, California.
This expressive figurative work depicts a seated young ballerina in profile, rendered with beautifully elongated features, stylized hair, delicate hands, and a contemplative expression. The strong linear quality and exaggerated proportions give the composition a distinctive Mid-Century Modern / Modernist figurative aesthetic.
The drawing is signed H.C. Newton at the lower left and retains important documentation on the reverse. The backing is handwritten “Ballerina – Original Pencil Drawing – H.C. Newton” and retains the artist’s original Herr C. Newton Fine Arts, Santa Fe Springs, California studio label, advertising works in pen and ink, watercolor, acrylic, and oils.
Presented under glass with a muted gray-green mat in its warm-toned wooden frame. An appealing original work with excellent decorative presence and desirable surviving artist documentation.
