DER TRAURIGE AMERIKANER

For almost a year, I was looking for the WIP of this piece, and finally gave up, thinking it got lost, thrown out by mistake ....
So the other day, I shuffled through some drawing pads looking for the right size of paper (and smooth finish) when I stumbled onto a near empty A4 size pad. Open the cover, and there it was!

I usually sign my pieces bottom right, so some of the first details I drew were across the bottom, thus my signature and date 2018 was put on almost at the beginning. And a year later, I finished it, November 2019!

The above image is a scan (which is more accurate), below find some WIP and a few details taken with my pocket camera.

I hate losing stuff - and there are quite a few pieces of mine that I have no idea what happened to them, and a few even that I have no photo record of. So I am glad I found this one. It is a minor work, but then, even the smallest ones are sort of my children and dear to me!
