I created this charcoal pencil drawing on 80 lb drawing paper from a photo of tango dancers in a public square in Argentina. I completed it in Nov. 2025 after working on it for several months.

Hello, this item is an original charcoal pencil drawing on heavyweight paper showing a pair of tango dancers in a dramatic dip. The drawing displays careful tonal shading, clear anatomical study, and deliberate contrast to create movement and focus. The composition is based on a photographic reference, and the artist’s signature appears at the lower right. The work is contemporary, completed in 2025, and the materials and format reflect personal studio production rather than gallery represented work. The drawing is in clean condition with no visible creasing or discoloration.
Contemporary charcoal figure drawings by emerging or self represented artists are valued for decorative appeal and the quality of execution. Market values vary widely, but comparable unsigned or newly signed works of this size often sell between USD 40 and USD 120 through online platforms, art fairs, and local galleries.
