Great era representation of his early Picasso studies - eyes, large and unfocused, the nose, long-face askew in abstract, caricature format. Represented is the signature style of his artists mid century studies of expressive frontal portraits. Bold black Ink lines, warm-toned ground and a graphic presence, signed Keil lower left;` confident black brushed-ink portrait on a warm, toned sheet-toning is natural. This kind of paper yellows easily when exposed to air, a thin newsprint-type paper. Has been sealed and protected in frame.
Nice Era piece.

Artwork / Piece Size: 11 x 14 in.

Frame Size: 20 in Long, simple black wood, white archival mat under glass. Sidenote: the lifestyle shots were developed using AI: the picture looks a little larger than it actually is in real life… see dimensions, and feel free to ask questions.

Could sit prettier in larger frame with slightly wider opening to the matt if you were looking to finish the look with a more solidified rendering of the piece's MCM feel and distillation. Simple. Ready to hang in any room to finish or anchor; fabulous–EASY. FINE!

Provenance: Acquired at auction through EBTH when works from the artist's estate were being sold. No COA included.

Condition: Paper yellowed some between EBTH and my frame job but now is fully air sealed within the frame-(60's newsprint paper was not acid free / archival). Apologies-please review all photos. See less
