DescriptionThis BWS piece blew me away the first time I laid eyes on it. Such, beauty, grace and detail. BWS is a true master and I am very happy to add this to my collection. This is getting frames and will hang in a prominent place so I can view it daily. I'd love to get a blueline inked and colored someday. I can just imagine the colors. Here is what HA has to say:Barry Windsor-Smith A Young Knight Portfolio Illustration Original Art (Cygnus, 1979). Barry Windsor-Smith's A Young Knight is an exquisite pencil drawing on a 16.5" x 17.75" Bristol board. It was part of a deluxe box set called The Drawings of Barry Windsor-Smith, consisting of eight romantic drawings released by Cygnus in 1983. This particular drawing showcases Windsor-Smith's exceptional skill in using graphite as a medium. Reminiscent of the Pre-Raphaelites, it is delicately rendered with intricate details, exemplifying the artist's mastery. The drawing is signed and dated "July 1979 BWS" in the lower left corner and retains publication notes in the upper right border. Minor soiling to the blank borders. In Excellent condition.

The passion really shines through in this piece. A touching and romantic moment as it might be the young knight's one and only chance in his life to experience beauty and love before headed into war. The work is exquisite with the gentle lines kept soft in pencil form.

Beyond cool! I have the Cygnus portfolio, of course, but this is something else!
