Untitled (preliminary pencil sketch)

Norman Lindsay

The Work

This is probably my most prized artwork in terms of the artist’s significance. It is a preliminary study for a larger piece and showcases Lindsay’s masterful handling of form and line. It resonates deeply with me for its historical and artistic importance. While it holds immense personal value, I am open to offers, allowing someone else to potentially enjoy this piece.

Provenance

This piece was purchased with certification from Odana Bloomfield, confirming its authenticity as a Norman Lindsay work. Prior to purchase, I verified the certification directly with Odana Bloomfield. The sketch originally came in an unattractive frame, and I have reframed it professionally in a 23-carat gold Rich & Davis pie crust design frame with 8-ply rag, gold pen line inlays, and museum glass.


Ask about the price, make an offer, or simply ask a question — payment is arranged directly (bank transfer, PayID, or cash).

Framing

The frame is period-appropriate, luxurious, and complements the artwork’s classical style. The pie crust design, gold inlays, and museum-quality materials reflect the importance of the piece and provide both protection and elegance.
