ORIGINAL 1987 DRAWING BY MOLLIE WALLACE, SIGNED AND DATED LOWER RIGHT WITH HER DISTINCTIVE INITIALS AND DATED (19) ’87. THIS CHARACTERFUL PORTRAIT STUDY OF AN ELDERLY MAN IN PROFILE IS EXECUTED IN CHARCOAL AND WHITE HIGHLIGHT ON TONED PAPER, CAPTURING THE SUBJECT WITH STRONG LINE AND SUBTLE MODELLING THAT SHOWS WALLACE’S CONTROL AND EYE FOR CHARACTER. THE HEAD IS DETAILED WITH GREAT ATTENTION TO THE TEXTURE OF HAIR, WRINKLES AND THE EFFECT OF LIGHT, MAKING THIS A POWERFUL EXAMPLE OF HER MATURE DRAUGHTSMANSHIP. THE PAPER SHOWS AGE-RELATED TONING, LIGHT CREASES AND EDGE WEAR CONSISTENT WITH STORAGE, BUT OVERALL THE DRAWING REMAINS VIVID AND IMPACTFUL. SHEET MEASURES APPROXIMATELY 39 X 54 CM (15.3 X 21.2 IN). UNFRAMED AND READY FOR PRESENTATION, THIS IS A STRONG, SIGNED WORK FROM MOLLIE WALLACE THAT WOULD APPEAL TO COLLECTORS OF BRITISH DRAWING AND PORTRAITURE, AND AN ATTRACTIVE PIECE OF MID-LATE 20TH-CENTURY ART.
