The restrained monochromatic palette places particular emphasis on the spontaneity and movement of the artist’s line.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSigned by the artist at the lower left.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe work is beautifully presented in an elaborate carved giltwood frame with a softly aged, antiqued finish.
