Original signed figurative nude drawing by Joseph (Joe) Capozio, dated 1970, sold through the Sutter Artist Guild in San Francisco.
This expressive female nude is executed in white ink / chalk line on black paper with subtle mixed-media tonal accents. The confident contour drawing and gestural line are characteristic of Capozio’s figurative work from the late 1960s–early 1970s and align with the Bay Area Figurative / Mid-Century Modern aesthetic.
Signed “Capozio ’70” lower right.
Comparable signed nude studies by Joseph Capozio from 1970–1971 exhibit identical signature style, medium, and figure treatment, confirming the artist attribution.
The artwork retains its original gallery framing and backing, including the original Sutter Artist Guild, 539 Sutter Street, San Francisco label, providing strong provenance.
