A Glimpse of Americana
FOUR (4) ORIGINAL CHARCOAL DRAWINGS – MEMBERS OF BLACK FAMILY – CA. 1880-90
$900
Item Details
Lot of four (4) well executed original charcoal drawings of family members. 16 x 20 on thick board. There is a middle aged man and woman, young child and young man.
All have a 2” tear on rt edge bottom center, though non distracting. Young man has a few small tears along top edge; young child has some random light foxing in barren areas along top. The woman and man also have some light random foxing.
These are well executed original drawings, (as opposed to charcoal over photographic images). They must have been framed at some point, they exhibit the telltale acid burning from the wood backs and knot holes on the back of the board.
Two additional items that were included in the lot were a late 20th c photograph of a woman (perhaps the young child in the drawings), and a marriage certificate, dated 1896, from Prairie center Ill. The certificate is in exceedingly poor condition. Unfortunately there were no identification with the original charcoals.
Overall a handsome group of original artwork of a scarcer subject.
Due to the weight and size, domestic post will $22.00
