Description:

Saxophone player 'Jazz Legend Archie Shepp' portrait, produced in cooperation with Edward Molnar (Thanks Edward).

Produced entirely in pastel, this sketch has been lightly sealed with a pastel fixative.

This concert performance artwork was mounted and framed in a very high quality black wooden Arqadia frame  using non reflective glass.

A superb dramatic and large original artwork that would transform a lounge, study, office, music room, conservatory, bedroom, hall, landing or similar room and be a focal point to be proud of.

Contact myself for more information about this beautiful work of art, or if you would like to purchase a print. Obviously, the quality of the original sketch is much better than displayed here, though if you wish to make a closer inspection, please let me know of any specific area you're interested in and I'll e mail a higher resolution image to you.
