Description

A pen and ink drawing done by Kachadoorian Zubel, that may be of a mother and child. The "mother" is presented in profile while the child looks at the viewer. This image is in black ink on tan paper and set within a brushed chrome frame. It also has a black, assymetrical mat with a white border. In the lower right hand corner is Zubel's signature where it reads, "Zubel '61." There is a small stain just above the signature. On the back of the frame there is a pocket which contains a piece of paper with a handwritten note on it which reads, "To Jeannie Love, Zubel 1961." It is unknown if Jeannie is related to Chris Spencer in some way.

Notes

Overall, the piece is in decent condition with only a minor amount of deterioration. There is a small surface stain in the lower right corner above the signature. This may be some water damage, but that is unconfirmed. Beyond that there doesn't appear to be any signs of severe damage to the drawing.
