Provenanced from Charles Blackman’s personal collection, this original drawing is a rare glimpse into the artist’s archive. It is early, dated 1951, a sketch of three figures, a sliver of tree to the left. In it, witness Blackman find his form and tone – the desire to connect, even when it stutters.

For collectors of Blackman and important works on paper, ‘Three Figures’ it is a sterling find, accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity from the Charles Blackman Foundation and hand signed by the artist.
