Acquire a rare original estate drawing by the late, award-winning Jamaican artist Howard Moo Young. This one-of-a-kind graphite portrait pays tribute to reggae legends Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, and Bunny Wailer – three of Jamaica’s most influential cultural icons.
Executed entirely in graphite, the composition showcases Moo Young’s exceptional command of light, shadow, and expressive line work, capturing the distinct character and enduring legacy of each musician with remarkable sensitivity and technical precision.
With the artist’s passing in 2023, this original represents a finite opportunity to acquire an authentic work from his estate. It is equally suited to discerning collectors of Caribbean art, reggae memorabilia, Jamaican cultural history, and thoughtfully curated residential or commercial interiors.
