Framed Mixed Media Portrait 'PIERROT' by Tatyana R. (1980)

This item is a vertically oriented, framed mixed media portrait depicting a stylized face, likely inspired by the Pierrot character of the Comedia dell'Arte. The artwork, dated 1980, combines traditional drawing techniques with three-dimensional appliqué elements. The face is rendered in soft, ethereal tones of pale blue and tan, featuring elongated proportions, dramatic eyelashes, and a somber expression. Notable physical characteristics include a black lace collar or ruff applied to the base of the neck, and jewelry-like floral appliqués on the forehead and beside the right eye. The work is signed 'Tatyana R.' on the mid-left and inscribed 'PIERROT 1980' in the lower right. It is housed in a simple, brushed aluminum or silver-toned utilitarian frame with glass. Condition issues are significant and visible, including heavy foxing and moisture staining concentrated along the lower edge and right side of the paper substrate. The paper appears to have yellowed with age, and the 3D elements may have lost structural stiffening over time. The craftsmanship reflects a late 20th-century decorative personal art style, utilizing common fabric and craft materials popular during the early 1980s.
