Original artwork description:

A classic monochrome drawing in an art deco style appeared from this pose. A slight sag in the body on the left as the time passed. Is she on a towel on a beach, is she looking out? Elegant and enigmatic.

On the verso (reverse) are a pair of legs in brown shown in the photo. Like many of the greats I often use both sides of the paper. It does not show through when put on a board for mounting.

Hard black conte pastel makes the lovely lines when using the edge. Created on a slightly off-white cartridge paper 30 x 42 cm (12 x 16.8") so will be rolled for delivery.

Mounting/Mat Suggestion: An image is included of how the piece could look if float-mounted or put behind mountboard(s) [in the US known as mats] before framing.

Materials used:

Conte pastel
