Original sketch by Harrison Fisher
auction site
Dear Kerry,
Greetings, thank you for submitting this lovely graphite sketch by American artist Harrison Fisher (1877 - 1934). As you likely know, he was a popular and prolific illustrator who specialized in depicting perfectly elegant 'ladies of lunch' as well as very poignant WWI illustrations. He was a well accomplished illustrator who was at his best when capturing the finer parts of the human form.
While lovely portrait graphite drawings such as yours have sold at auction between $150 and $200USD none have also included the lovely envelope as well so I would expect your example, with her lovely face would be closer to $200 - $300USD.
Thank you for calling upon the experts at Mearto.
Sincerely,
Erin-Marie
