Beppe — Fine Art

A large hand holds a small figure in Beppe - 2010 by Stephen Mueller. The drawing uses loose charcoal lines that follow the shape of the arm and head. The face is mostly blank, with a few dark lines around the eyes. The paper shows the grain where the hand was pressed hard.

The fine art frame comes in white or black wood, and the frame edge keeps the drawing from touching the wall. With white, the pale paper reads as a soft surface. With black, the dark lines get a quiet border that stops the eye before it reaches the edge.

It fits a hallway wall beside a coat rack. You see the big hand shape while you pass, and the blank face gives you a pause before you turn the corner.
