This work is a delightful article of ephemera and art.
This is a self-portrait of Philip Evergood, holding a fountain pen—perhaps the same pen used to draw the picture!—and looking thoughtful, with a hand-written message, “A New Year Commencing!” written on the inside flaps of a Christmas card. With the pre-printed message “Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year” and personalized with “To Ziuta + Brouka with Love & Best wishes”.
This is a beautiful and unique work of art with an intimate personal note. The recipients were plainly very close with Evergood, having accumulated numerous Evergood works, including in several cases two prints of the same work, suggesting that they were intimates or family.
Medium:
Drawing by fountain pen on Found Paper (the back of a Holiday Card) Signature:
Hand-signed in pen by the artist en recto lower right, and inscribed with a personal message to the recipients. Framing:
Custom matted and framed in solid walnut behind 99% UV-blocking art glass using strictly conservation-grade materials. Condition:
Very good condition. With age toning but otherwise excellent. Framed Size:
15.5 in. (h) x 12.5 in. (w) x 1.0 in. (d) Sheet Size:
8.5 in. (h) x 6.5 in. (w) Provenance:
Apparently acquired from the artist by Brouka and Ziuta Gerst, and by descent to its most recent owner.
