Head and Shoulders Portrait of a Lady in Silverpoint
Head and shoulders of a lady. This Silverpoint drawing is a delicate, intimate artwork, best seen close-up. The silverpoint is a small piece of pure silver wire, of varying thicknesses. The medium requires a delicate detailed application. The oxidised silver marks have an iridescent sheen that mellows with time. A drawing will change within months of being executed – the grey lines and marks become warm-toned and patinated.
