    Wanting to make sure this isn't anything fancy before I move it on down the line.

    Image measures 18" x 24" (though the paper was folded to those dimensions) and was in a cheap frame with a cheap matte.

    Watermark on the paper says C.M. Fabriano (Italy)

    Found at a flea market in Portland, Oregon

    Thanks for any comments!

    It's a charcoal sketch of whatever the Italians call cowbows - unless it's a preliminary for Fistful of Dollars. ????

    I'll stick my neck out Andy and say I don't see much in it. It's always good to separate personal appeal from potential financial reward in a piece of art.
    It could be a valuable piece of 'outsider',naive or sophisticated primitive Hispanic (Mexicanidad), that I just don't understand.
    PS- Here's a term new to me- 'Mexicayotl'.
    Mexicayotl-(Nahuatl word meaning "Essence of the Mexican", "Mexicanity"; Spanish: Mexicanidad; see -yotl) is a movement that aims to revive the Indigenous religion, philosophy and traditions of ancient Mexico (Aztec religion and Aztec philosophy) among the Mexican people.
