“1950 Framed Charcoal Portrait Signed by Artist”
This is a framed charcoal drawing signed by the artist, dated 1950. The artwork appears to depict a somber, expressive portrait of a person, with bold, abstract strokes. The signature, located in the lower right corner, reads “F. Krawchuk” or a similar name (exact signature subject to further verification). The piece is in very good condition for its age. The charcoal lines are clear and intact, without visible smudging or damage. The paper shows no significant yellowing or tears, though there may be minor age-related discoloration that is typical for works on paper from this period. The artwork is housed in a gold-colored wooden frame with a double mat—a burgundy inner mat and an off-white outer mat. The frame and glass are in excellent condition, with no apparent scratches, chips, or cracks. The overall dimensions of the framed piece are approximately 33 5/16 inches by 61 3/16 inches. Further information about the artist or provenance of this piece is unknown and would require additional research.

Dear Lee Green,
We apologize for the delay during our website troubleshooting. Your work is a portrait charcoal drawing on paper. In frame, the work measures approximately 33 x 61 inches. From the images and information provided, the drawing is in good condition with minimal toning to the sheet. The work is signed and dated to the lower right. The signature appears to read "S. Lauckner" and dated 1950. The name and signature do not match any listed artists, therefore this work remains unattributable.
Charcoal drawings and figural sketches frequently appear on the market. Most often, their value is determined by artistic attribution. Without an attribution, we look to works of similar medium, theme, and date to determine a value estimate. Based on these trends, we estimate the Fair Market Value between $0 and $200. Please note, a positive attribution may affect this estimate.
Kind regards,
Charlotte B.
