Baker - Silverpoint drawing on oak Drawing

This is a silverpoint drawing of the nuclear explosion on Bikini Atoll by the USA in 1946. This drawing can be tray framed or box framed at cost price for you. Silverpoint means to draw with a silver wire, old masters used silverpoint and metalpoint to draw with before graphite had been discovered. When the pure silver wire is drawn across the gesso it leaves particles behind, much like when you scuff your ring in a white wall, meaning the drawing is actually made of silver. It is a very delicate process as mistakes cannot be rectified and the drawing is built up over many layers of silver.
