Framed Pencil Drawing of Elvis Presley in a Cowboy Hat

This item is a framed pencil drawing depicting a bust of Elvis Presley, recognizable by his distinctive facial features, wearing a cowboy hat and what appears to be a collared jacket or shirt. The drawing is rendered in varying shades of grey, indicating the use of different pencil lead hardnesses to achieve depth and shadow. The details in the cowboy hat suggest a weathered or suede-like texture, with visible creases and folds, reflecting light and shadow effectively. Elvis's face is rendered with notable attention to his eyes, nose, and lips, capturing a contemplative or perhaps slightly somber expression. The drawing extends to the upper chest, showing the lapels of a jacket. The overall style suggests a realistic or illustrative approach to portraiture. The artwork is housed within a wooden frame, likely made of oak or a similar hardwood, given its visible grain and reddish-brown hue. The frame has a simple, classic profile with a slightly raised inner edge. The drawing is protected by a clear pane, presumably glass or acrylic, which shows some reflections in the image, suggesting its presence. The condition of the frame appears good, with no obvious signs of significant damage or wear from the visible angles. The drawing itself appears well-preserved, with no visible smudges, tears, or discoloration. The visible background within the frame is a plain, light color, likely white or off-white paper, which serves to highlight the monochromatic drawing. Based on the subject matter, the drawing likely dates from the mid to late 20th century, corresponding with Elvis Presley's iconic status. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, demonstrating skill in pencil drawing technique, particularly in shading and capturing likeness. There are no discernible artist's signatures or marks visible in the provided image.
