Juan Carlos Iramain (1907–1973) was an Argentine sculptor, painter, and draftsman. His figurative work is characterized by a synthesis of academic training and modernist simplification.
This drawing was created during Iramain's residence in Florida, USA, in 1949. During this period, he was a guest of the Hungarian composer Ernst von Dohnányi, who was a faculty member at Florida State University. Historical records indicate Iramain executed a sculptural portrait of Dohnányi and taught art during this stay. This drawing comes directly from Dohnányi’s collection, documenting a specific moment of cultural exchange between an Argentine visual artist and a European composer in the post-war United States.
Iramain's legacy is maintained by the Museo Iramain in San Miguel de Tucumán, Argentina.
