Oh I like this very much! Nicely done - looks like she could skate right off the page!

 

It looks quite a bit like this sketch.

It certainly does! Without color, but very close.

 

I spelt it wrong predictive text on phone should check what I wrote bad habbit sorry lol

 

God it does it's not a print my one very simular

 

I know it's very simple yet a georgous little sketch

 

@Elaine Kinsella , this link includes information about the artist, says the print was a book illustration and tells which book it was from. So you may have the original sketch from which the print was taken.

You might have already realized that but I wanted to point that out in case you didn't see the full description there. I had to click in two places to open that description.

Great find, @say_it_slowly !

 

Thanks so

much for that .I knew it was a original drawing when I bought it but did not know much about the artist I just loved it . I've no idea how much it's worth as I can only find prints but I would be keeping it anyway I love it

 

Oh and u wouldn't believe what I payed for it

 

Would you like to tell how much? Or, better not to say?

And I love it, too.

 

I got it for 1 euro in a car boot sale a girl was clearing out her grandmother's house that had passed away so I got a few nice bits off her for a few euro . Live for finding little treasures car boot sales auctions and second hand shops I live in .

 

Wonderful! What a bargain!

 

I know do get such a thrill from picking up little gems like that
