    C. S. Rundquist

    Late 19th-Century Academic Study

    This late 19th-century drawing by C. S. Rundquist depicts the lips and nose of a classical statue.

    It’s fascinating to discover academic studies by relatively unknown artists as they provide a window into a period of training without context. The most accomplished works leave a sense of bewilderment at why the artist became lost to history.

    This piece, with its sensuous lips, and careful shading, carries a degree of quality. Yet Rundquist dropped off the map. Further research has uncovered several studies from between 1877-1880 and it’s likely they attended the Academy in Stockholm.

    Unusually alluring and equally mystifying.
