Hello, this item is an original ink drawing attributed to Robert Thome, an American artist recognized for his mastery of stippling technique despite physical disability. The composition, titled “Veiled Face,” features a close-up portrait of a woman’s face partially covered by a translucent veil, executed with thousands of meticulously placed ink dots. The artist captures a balance between concealment and expression, with particular attention to the luminous green eyes and delicate tonal shading that define Thome’s finest works.

The piece measures 22 x 16 inches and is in excellent condition. Thome’s stippled portraits, especially those with confirmed authorship and expressive psychological presence, hold consistent market appeal. Comparable examples typically sell between 500 and 900 USD, depending on provenance and size.
