    I think I've posted before on the Ebay forum.
    What do you think that is, some child/amateur attempt?
    Thanks

    Doesn't it look like a charcoal stone rubbing ?

    Stone rubbing is the practice of creating an image of surface features of a stone on paper. The image records features such as natural textures, inscribed patterns or lettering. By rubbing hard rendering materials over the paper, pigment is deposited over protrusions and on edges; depressions remain unpigmented since the pliable paper moves away from the rendering material. Common rendering materials include charcoal, wax, graphite or inksticks. Over time, the practice of stone rubbing can cause permanent damage to cultural monuments due to abrasion. For an artist, stone rubbings can become an entire body of creative work that is framed and displayed.

    Isn't this a scratch drawing? Soft pigment, such as black wax, is used to coat the white sheet. The line is created by a stylus scratching through, revealing the white underneath.

    Is it on onionskin or velum? Is the medium (charcoal, wax, pencil, whatever) on both sides or just one?

    I remember this from the eBay boards. I suggested then that it might be a spoon print made over a lino-cut.

    Thanks for all the replies. It is done on paper, only on one side but the paper is thin and you can see the images on the verso. Not sure of the medium.
