Danang Grandmother Charcoal Portrait by My
The warmth from an open fire reflected on the time-worn hands and face of a Vietnamese grandmother is felt when viewing this charcoal sketch by an artist from Danang who signs her work with only the name "My." The piece is dated 1997 and, although the open fire suggests a country or mountain locale, during that time it was still fairly common to see people gathered before fires on the back streets in some of Vietnam's cities. The woman's clothing indicates an urban grandmother, perhaps a relative of the artist. This charcoal is matted and framed and is in excellent condition. Dimensions including frame: height 23-1/2" (52 cm), width 19-1/4" (49 cm). Dimensions of paper only: height 17" (43 cm), width 13" (33 cm).
