Four and a Half Coats! Vintage Inkwash Drawing on Card with Another on Reverse black leather mask with one area of surface

with one area of surface wear/discoloration to the skin toward the bottom center

I am perpetually leafing through antique school books in hopes of finding exactly what this one delivers--and was pure joy to discover

I think the color on these--yellow on one side and red on the other

with a group of men (with terrific faces) playing what looks to be a pretty serious game of dominoes in the foreground

Four and a Half Coats! Vintage Inkwash Drawing on Card with Another on Reverse black leather mask with one area of surfaceSomething super satisfying about these coats, and I love that the odd one, which looks like mink to me, is only half in view, as if these coats might continue on forever just outside the frame or as if to say what we really want may remain forever out of reach. Unsigned other than the two words "My Mel" on reverse, I really feel like this was done by someone known; it has a bit of a Raymond Pettibon feel to me, especially the flip side. 11 1 4" x 7 1
