Description
Original Pencil Sketch, Michael Lyne (1912-1989), 'Country View', Mid 20th Century
Mounted ready for framing on white card and matching backing card with cellophane protective wrapping
Overall size of the mount measures approx. 12" x 10" (which means it will fit standard size picture frame). The visible picture opening is 5.75" x 3.75"
A really nice Sketch, ready for you to frame.
I have acquired a large number of sketches from the Lyne estate, covering the period from the 1940's - 1970's, approximately. These were across 15 sketch books, which can can be seen in photo's 4 & 5 (obviously you are buying the single sketch here, not all the sketch books)
These sketches were used by Lyne in working up his larger works - by their nature they were not signed but many carry Lyne's hand written notes and annotations.
CONDITION: Some age related discolouration to the paper and ocassional scatter marks, typical of this type of work.
