Marjorie Cox (1915-2003) - Signed & Framed 1968 Pastel Bruce

Description

A fine and highly detailed portrait in pastel of a golden Labrador named 'Bruce', by the well-listed animal portraitist Marjorie Cox (1915-2003). Cox captures intricate expressive features of well-loved pets, and this work is a prime example. The artist's technique is masterly, layering tones in order to produce a vivid and arresting realist portrait. She utilises the substrate in order to enhance texture and form, alongside fine detailing in the whiskers and eyes, producing a glassy effect that is highly skilled in this medium. Signed and inscribed 'Bruce 1968' in the lower right hand corner. Well presented in a wooden gilt effect vintage frame, as shown. Signed and dated and inscribed. On wove.
