Available for sale is this original drawing by john kingerlee dated 1967. The work is presented and supplied in a sympathetic contemporary frame (which is shown in these photographs), mounted using conservation materials and behind glass. This vintage drawing is in very good condition, commensurate with its age. It wants for nothing and is supplied ready to hang and display. This brilliant and appealing self-portrait executed as a line drawing is stunning in its simplicity and character. It is at once sophisticated yet almost childish, even fantastical. It depicts a head and shoulders of a naked man, holding a single flower, perhaps a daisy in his left hand. He is gazing at the flower, and in the background the horizon is shown as a sketched line, and the sun as a large incomplete circle. His hair is wild and fuzzy, his ears pointed like a pixie and his chin is unshaven. The overall effect is naive, but quite magical.
