Original antique ink drawing featuring a stylized child rendered in a whimsical yet unsettling early twentieth-century style. The bold black ink lines and expressive features place this work within the realm of outsider or proto-expressionist illustration.
Created on aged uncoated paper and preserved in very good antique condition, this piece is a unique survivor from the early 1900s. The blank reverse further supports its presentation as an original work rather than a printed card. Signed by Stella Pontine (?)
