This was a gem of a find, and one I have hanging on my wall until there is the right buyer. It is so simple, and the frame so delicate, making it a truly lovely piece.
Add a touch of mid-century elegance to your space with this original vintage charcoal/graphite portrait sketch by the renowned fashion illustrator Dagmar Freuchen-Gale.

Backing: The back is securely sealed with brown paper, showing some expected moisture-toning spots from age along the edges, but the heavy wire hanger remains sturdy and ready to mount.
