{"product_id":"portrait-of-a-woman-with-a-ponytail","title":"Vintage Charcoal Portrait Drawing of a Woman in Profile with Ponytail","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn original charcoal portrait drawing on paper by Oklahoma artist and commercial illustrator Donna Foreman Hopper, sourced directly from her estate in Norman, Oklahoma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sitter faces left in profile, her dark hair swept back into a ponytail with a rolled fringe above the forehead. Carefully shaded cheekbones, a defined jawline, and a steady gaze give the portrait a sculptural presence. Dense charcoal passages through the hair and neckline contrast with softer shading across the face and loosely drawn shoulders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition captures the character of the sitter while retaining the immediacy of a working artist’s study. A small monogram-like mark appears near the shoulder on the right side of the composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHopper studied art at Oklahoma State University under Doel Reed and also attended the Kansas City Art Institute. Her career included illustration for Hallmark, fashion advertising artwork for TG\u0026amp;Y, and commercial art for John A. Brown and the Oklahoma Publishing Company.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its monochrome palette and expressive handling, this original drawing would make an appealing addition to a collection of American portraiture or a gallery wall of vintage works on paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: Visible paper toning, scattered smudges and surface marks, and handling wear. Creasing and edge wear are present, including a small notch or loss along the right edge beside the ponytail. The reverse shows scattered marks and charcoal transfer. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions:\u003cbr\u003e19\" Wide\u003cbr\u003e25\" Tall\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Scout Studios","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67708363604288,"sku":null,"price":350.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0818\/8385\/7216\/files\/PortraitofaWomanwithPonytail1.jpg?v=1791218415","url":"https:\/\/shopscoutstudios.com\/products\/portrait-of-a-woman-with-a-ponytail","provider":"Scout Studios","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
