Peter Robert Keil (German, b. 1942) is known for: spare black-line faces in a Picasso-influenced, neo-expressionist style, portraits in ink, acrylic, and oil.

Bold black brush lines describe a simplified profile with a single large eye, on cream paper.

A scrawled signature at lower left is consistent with Keil’s hurried “P. Keil” mark.

Keil is known for spare black-line faces that openly reference Picasso; this is that vocabulary, not a Picasso original.

Presented in a black wood frame with a wide off-white mat and glass. Ready to hang. The frame back carries an MSPCI / Irving, Texas distributor label and a 01/2021 date sticker (frame made in China). The drawing is the object; the frame is a later commercial frame.

A small, graphic wall piece — works well in a modern or MCM–style room as a single accent. See less
