Perfect Patina, Earlyish 20th C. Graphite Drawing on Toned Paper, Yielding Very Excellent Moon Face ringed From curls to cuffs toI have to say I'm pretty obsessed with this drawing, to my eye made a hundred times better by what seems to be a chance stain toning, which turned the graphite drawing of the features of a face it into a face on the moon. Perhaps I'm wrong and the drawing was made after the discoloration, but I really don't think so. Just so right, including for this punched edge on a second piece of paper to which it was attached, and a penmanship practice exercise
