Description
-
A photorealistic, detailed, full body portrait of the artist's first child, Phisit Sae-tang, as a naked infant. The child wears anklets and a necklace, and is seated against a dark background. The tonal gradations within the image are rendered with smoothly blended charcoal, creating a soft, atmospheric, sfumato effect.

In poor and fragile condition. Severe foxing. A portion of the work has torn off (now kept in a plastic sheet). Medium rubs off upon contact. Creases at the corners, along the edges, and across the work. Severe tears across the work. Tears at the corners and along the top, left, and right edges. Holes, grazing, and bite marks, likely caused by insects and other animals. Tide lines and buckling due to contact with a liquid, especially along the bottom edge. Brown stains on the reverse.
