Description
A striking pastel portrait showing a young woman in distress. The portrait seems to take inspiration from Caravaggio's "Gorgon," shown in the facial expression. The artist has captured a great deal of emotion in this portrait.
The picture is unsigned and presented in a fine, glazed, gilt effect frame with floral strapwork.
On wove.
Condition
The drawing has a large water damage mark over the left edge that spreads across the top left corner and upper edge. There is some foxing to the surface and discolouration. There are several white marks to the top third of the drawing. The frame has a loss to the top left corner and a crack to the top edge. There are two pin holes in the frame at the middle of both side edges. There is general scuffing to the frame surface.

About Sulis Fine Art
Sulis Fine Art started as an eBay art gallery in 2008. Bill, one of the directors was joined by his son, Dan, in 2012. Staff were gradually added as the business grew. Bill and Dan (now managing director) are joined by 4 art historians/ gallery specialists, 2 stock controllers/dispatchers and an art conservation specialist. We operate from offices outside of Bradford on Avon, Wiltshire and utilise various humidity controlled off-site storage facilities in the local area.
Sulis Fine Art has one of the largest selections of original art for sale on the web and over 14,000 positive feedbacks on eBay. The art in our online gallery has been handpicked by our team of highly qualified art historians. We try our hardest to ensure that artworks are described and photographed as accurately as possible. This includes using strobe lighting and colour calibrated screens to colour check our images.
