{"product_id":"drawing-of-a-woman-with-smize","title":"Vintage Black and White Charcoal Portrait Drawing of a Woman with Curled Hair","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn original vintage charcoal drawing of a woman by Oklahoma artist Donna Foreman Hopper, sourced directly from her estate in Norman, Oklahoma. This expressive female portrait on textured cream paper features sculpted curls, a distinctive forehead curl, and a scarf tied at the neckline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRich charcoal shading defines the sitter’s hair, eyes, and facial features, while loosely drawn shoulders lend the composition the immediacy of a studio portrait study. Her composed gaze and carefully styled hair evoke the glamour of mid-century fashion illustration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA smaller portrait sketch and a separate eye study occupy the upper-right corner of the same sheet. These additional drawings offer a glimpse into the artist’s process and give the work particular appeal as a collected studio piece. A stylized monogram appears beside the sitter’s shoulder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDonna Foreman Hopper studied art at Oklahoma State University under Doel Reed. Her professional career included illustration for Hallmark, fashion advertising for TG\u0026amp;Y, and subsequent work for advertising agencies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis original drawing on paper would make an elegant addition to a collection of vintage portrait drawings, American illustration, or monochrome figurative art. Display it above a writing desk, on a bedroom gallery wall, or alongside complementary female portraits. An antiqued gilt frame would emphasize its period character; a slim black frame and generous ivory mat would offer a tailored presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProvenance: Sourced directly from the artist’s estate in Norman, Oklahoma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: Visible paper toning, scattered surface marks and charcoal smudging, handling creases, and uneven edges with small tears and nicks.
