Vintage Pencil

VINTAGE Pencil Drawing "The Miner" By "Joseph Fourbears" 1978 Western Art. Joseph Fourbears is a renowned Northwest Native American Artist. His works have truly evolved over the years. This a very early work of his art form. I spoke with Mr. forebears and he told me this was a piece of work he was doing as a deep study in a form of depth of graphite art. I have tried to show the "Depth" in the images. The last photo is of a vintage image that inspired the work. The business card reflects the pricing of the sale in 1978 in his Gallery at the time. The frame is 20 3/4" x 20 3/4" Drawing is 13 1/4" x 13". Joseph Fourbears p ast requisitioned clients are quite impressive. Please read below.
