5x7in silverpoint drawing on paper. Unframed.

Silverpoint is an ancient medium used since the medieval times. It’s a drawing done using a piece of pure silver wire. These drawings are extremely archival. Artists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo used silverpoint and their drawings have stood the test of time.

This drawing is very soft and delicate, and will oxidize to a coppery color overtime. This is the beauty of silverpoint!
