Lounging on Chaise, Heels Crossed, Wonderful Antique Folk Art Graphite and Crayon Portrait (Diagonal Crease) wood frame with heavy tacks securing itOne last piece from a handful by the same person I purchased several months ago, the rest since listed and sold. These I know were found in the collection of an artist in Maine, and believe they date to the late 19th century or so. This is maybe my very favorite of all, but there is a diagonal crease visible I think it would mostly disappear once framed, but it is there. Wonderful face, wonderfully sculptural hair, tiny hands and tiny crossed feet,
