These pieces were acquired directly from the independent Indian artist, D.K. Pathak, in India during the 1980s, offering a beautiful, single-owner provenance spanning over 40 years. Bought directly from Pathak at his home in Ajmer.
Far from mass-produced prints, these are meticulous, highly detailed hand-drawn master studies showing an incredible command of classical linework, cross-hatching, and tonal shading.Piece 1 (Vertical Portrait): A breathtaking, masterful academic reproduction of Northern Renaissance master Albrecht Dürer’s famous 1521 drawing, Head of an Old Man. The rendering of the incredibly complex beard, deep facial contours, and expression demonstrates an elite level of traditional fine art training.Piece 2 (Horizontal Scene): A beautifully balanced companion piece depicting an elder musician lost in song in a wilderness setting, utilizing the exact same fine-liner styling, delicate ink washes, and artistic execution.Both pieces bear the distinct hand-signed signature of the artist: "D. K. Pathak, India". See less
