A4 picture in a 30×40 cm white mount (Frame NOT included).
This is a compelling portrait, likely a study of a woman's head and shoulders.
Medium and Style: The artist has used dry media, such as charcoal and white chalk or pencil, on brown or tan toned paper. This technique allows the artist to effectively build up dark tones (shadows and hair) and bright highlights (on the face and hair) while letting the middle tone of the paper serve as the base color for the skin and clothing. The technique gives the drawing a striking, high-contrast, and almost monochromatic appearance.
Subject: The subject is a woman with short, dark, styled hair (possibly finger waves or a similar 1930s-1940s style) and an intense, direct gaze. Her expression is serious or contemplative. She is wearing a collared blouse with a distinct geometric or patterned print, edged with piping.
Composition: The figure is centrally positioned, occupying the majority of the drawing area. The background is simple, with some soft shading to the subject's right, grounding the figure and suggesting ambient light. The drawing itself is framed with a wide white mat inside a black frame, which enhances its display quality.
Artistic Credit: A copyright or artist's signature is visible at the bottom of the white border: "© R.G. Osbaldeston".
The artwork demonstrates strong skill in capturing likeness and modeling form through the effective use of light and shadow.
