Original artwork description:

This original pencil drawing is my tribute to the fantastic sculpture by Charles Alphonse Achille Gumery, who portrait the mythical figure of Achilles - The son of the mortal Peleus and the sea nymph Thetis.

Drawn on Bristol Board Smooth paper and measuring 37cm wide and 50cm high, the complete drawing took around 35 hours to finish.

The drawing is being sold unframed to reduce shipping costs - however I can offer a bespoke framing service as required - To ship with the same frame used in the example photos will cost and additional £100 - just send me a message to discuss.

Turning professional in 2016 Paul has won accolades across the globe, initially exhibiting and selling work in Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore and Thailand he now resides in the centre for contemporary British Art and the Tate Modern Gallery, St. Ives, Cornwall.
From his open studio and commercial gallery in the town he spends hours, weeks and months drawing incredibly detailed images inspired by the plethora of artists and art in the local area.
His work is on permanent display in 'The Stowe Gallery' in St. Ives and with individual and corporate collections across the world.
