James Bone Portrait of a Girl in Profile rectangular plates with this matte copper colored

with this matte copper colored finish worn away around the edges

perfectly balanced with abstract flourish on the other side

I am not certain the age on this but know that it was held in a family estate for many years

with a little damage to the surface of the wood on one corner

rounded handle of this vintage Beau Brummel barber's brush / neck brush makes it a really great one to hold in your hand

James Bone Portrait of a Girl in Profile rectangular plates with this matte copper coloredFrom a second batch of drawings by Chicago artist James Frederic Bone (1929 2015) I really love this girl or young woman, who seems to carry the weight of the world on her forehead; I think one could project a thousand stories onto her. Hard to beat the line that defines the curl of hair framing her face, and I really love the hard line between her upper and lower lips. Undated, though I believe from the 1960s, and executed in ballpoint pen I believe.
