<p>[QUOTE="Jim Goodykoontz, post: 10167396, member: 82566"]hi everyone. this is a Hail Mary purchase for me. i found this in a Goodwill and i just couldn't put it back. this appears to be an original conte crayon sketch of George Gershwin in profile. it's a nice likeness and it appears to be from maybe the 60s or early 70s. at least that's where i would date the frame(but who knows?). i can not make out the artist's signature(upper right corner). this piece was framed and sold in a gallery in Los Angeles(Charles S. Grieve Gallery). the photos ive provided were taken indoors with my phone. the paper on which the sketch was done is white(the lighting isn't great, but you get the idea). the art is under glass, and i don't want to take the piece apart unless it's necessary. any ideas who the artist is? any help will be greatly appreciated...thanks</p><p>[ATTACH=full]508565[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]508567[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]508568[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]508569[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
