Additional Details: This is a non-attributed portrait of a woman, signed "Paul Helleu," though neither the signature nor the portrait has been authenticated. Paul César Helleu (1859–1927) was a French artist best known for his elegant portraits of women, often rendered in pastel, pencil, or drypoint etching. His works typically capture the grace and fashion of the Belle Époque era, making him a prominent figure in the Parisian art world at the time. Since the signature and the portrait are not authenticated, it's important to note that while the drawing may stylistically resemble Helleu’s work, professional authentication would be required to confirm its legitimacy. Helleu’s authentic pieces are highly valued, particularly for their delicacy and charm in capturing the elegance of his female subjects.
