This is an evocative, original figurative artwork executed in white charcoal or pastel on a deep black substrate, dated 1995 and signed "Davis" in the lower right corner. The piece utilizes a dramatic chiaroscuro technique, where bold, minimalist highlights define the contours of a human form against a heavy, shadowed background. This high-contrast style creates a moody and mysterious atmosphere, focusing the viewer's attention on the play of light and gesture. The artwork is professionally presented behind glass in a black frame with a matching black mat and a thin gold-toned inner border that provides a sophisticated accent. The artwork and frame are in very good vintage condition. The sketch remains sharp with no signs of fading or smudging, and the glass is clear. The frame is structurally sound, showing only negligible surface wear or faint scuffs consistent with age and careful display. Dimensions: 63.5cm (h) x 48.5cm (w)
