Robert Freisz (XX Cent.): General to Specific - Not The Other Way Around!

*
When I spotted this little drawing on eBay France this morning I got a little chuckle out of it. I am sure if you have ever taken an introductory drawing or painting class you have fond memories of the instructor walking around the room shouting: "General to specific, people! General to specific!" If my French is correct, then the young boy behind that drawing board must have gotten one of the model's central attributes a little more specific than the instructor called for. Apparently the model's male appendage impressed the young man so much that he got carried away with the resultant detail.

I couldn't find much biographical information on Robert Freisz (?) , but according to the listing he was active during the first half of the 20th century.
