<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeff Drum, post: 407793, member: 6444&quot;]It makes sense - the medium for this must be pastel on sandpaper. Neither the artwork nor the sandpaper of this one looks old, so it is some student/hobbyist trying out the medium. But it has some history to it - I ran into a charcoal on sandpaper Hudson River Valley work which led me to try to figure out what I had. The type of work is described here: <a href="https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/listed-silas-wood-jr-hudson-river-1847664806" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/listed-silas-wood-jr-hudson-river-1847664806" rel="nofollow">https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/listed-silas-wood-jr-hudson-river-1847664806</a> &quot;In the middle of the 19th century, sandpaper painting&#039;s vitality, boldness and singleness of expression surpassed collector&#039;s demands for prints. Names were also applied to sandpaper paintings: &quot;Grecian Painting&quot;, &quot;Monochromatic Painting&quot;, &quot;Monochromatic Drawing&quot; and others were used.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
