Andy Warhol Rare Original c.1956 Young Man in Landscape Drawing 

This original line drawing created by Andy Warhol around 1956 comes from the artist’s estate. Warhol's quick lines highlight his innate draughtsmanship, immediately conveying a study drawn rapidly from life. This sparse portrait is beautifully offset by the foliage and landscape beyond the subject. In the 1950s, well before his rise to Pop art fame, Warhol created and exhibited drawings of men in pursuit of his career as a fine artist in New York City. This is a unique opportunity to purchase a drawing from Warhol’s personal collection.
