Description These two pen and ink drawings, attributed to Eduardo Oliva, depict a seated pipe smoker and a fragmented domestic interior through fine, economical linework. In the vertical composition, curling smoke connects the angular figure with floating architectural forms, lettering and a question mark. The horizontal drawing arranges a reclining figure, chairs, a radiator, a mirror and tabletop objects within a deliberately distorted perspective. Brown and darker ink lines contrast with the warm cream paper, while selective stippling and hatching provide texture without extensive shading. Combining Cubist fragmentation with Surrealist imagery, the works offer complementary compositions suited to a study, reading room or arrangement of modern drawings. Artist Attributed to Eduardo Oliva (b.1952), a Spanish artist associated with figurative compositions incorporating Cubist and Surrealist elements.
