Original artwork description:

An original creepy art drawing of Humpty Dumpty. Artwork created with ink, pencil and acrylic paint on paper. Hand-drawn and painted by British artist Spencer J. Derry, signed and dated in 2023 and is unframed.


According to the Oxford English Dictionary, in the 17th century, the term "humpty dumpty" referred to a drink of brandy boiled with ale. The riddle probably exploited, for misdirection, the fact that "humpty dumpty" was also eighteenth-century reduplicative slang for a short and clumsy person.

Materials used:

Acrylic, Pen, pencil
