Silverpoint on gesso board drawing of a wiry man in 1920s knickers stringing a marionette in a stark room with sharp shadows and muted tones.

A 1920s New Objectivity verist artwork rendered in meticulous silverpoint on gesso board. The hard studio lighting and muted palette create an uncanny, frozen atmosphere as the puppeteer strings his figure. The hyper-detailed, polished aesthetic perfectly captures the magic realism of the era.
