Original artwork description:

A picture for pandemic times, when many single people survived without human touch for many months if they were not in a bubble. Giving yourself a hug may have been the only way.

Photographs show (i) the drawing just completed, and it looks as though it is not flat, colours can be seen. The piece is stored flat, dry and in normal household temperatures for the UK. It looks fine, as can be seen in other pictures when mounted (ii) On the reverse is another drawing in brown conte of a seated model which does not show through the paper.

Created on pale blue sugar paper 30 x 42 cm (12 x 16 "). It will either be rolled for delivery (glassine inside to protect the drawing) or wrapped in glassine and sandwiched in cardboard depending on where it is being sent to.

Mounting/Mat Suggestion: An image is included of how the piece could look if float-mounted or put behind mountboard(s) [in the US known as mats] before framing.

Materials used:

Conte pastel
