$595.00
Originates from: Netherlands or Belgium
Era: Late 16th Century
Dimensions: 11” W x 14” H
Beautifully expressive ink on paper sketch of Medusa, with hair of snakes wild and untameable. Incredibly graphic and harsh in depiction, truly expressive ink detail and features. Unsigned, done as a studio sketch, possibly for an eventual print by an unknown artist, likely Netherlandish or Belgian in origin. The paper variation and weight, as well as ink suggests late 16th century in its creation. Framed in a contemporary frame with a black on black mat.
