HUGHIE LEE-SMITH (1915 - 1999)
Untitled (Figure in a Desolate Landscape).

Charcoal and graphite on tissue-thin buff wove paper, 1939. 203x265 mm; 8x10 1/2 inches. Signed in pencil, lower right.

Provenance: the estate of the artist; thence by descent to the current owner.

A likely study for a print from the artist's Karamu House period, this thin paper is suitable for transfer to a lithographic stone.
