That ambiguity is what was sought: a rhinoceros in action, but the action suspended. The pencil work bears down on the mass of the body, the thick skin rendered by interlocking hatching, while the legs and vegetation remain as sketches, to concentrate all the weight on the volume of the body.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p style=\"color: #6f6f6f;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>Original Drawing sold<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003300;\"><em>Limited Edition Art print available<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Art print s\/n 50 numbered and signed by the artist<\/li>\n<li>Watercolor paper\u00a0210 g\/m\u00b2<\/li>\n<li>Dim\u00a0: 30\u00a0cm x 21\u00a0cm<\/li>\n<li>Framed dim: 33 cm x 27 cm<\/li>\n<li>frame in light oak style<\/li>\n<li>real elm burl frame<\/li>\n<li>Warranty\u00a085 years under glass<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>the watermark does not appear on the final print<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Licensing rights : <a href=\"mailto:stephane.alsac@free.fr\">contact me<\/a><\/p>\n<address>\u00a0<\/address>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":13145,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[2112,1190,1187,1184],"product_tag":[1082,1426,1423,1100],"class_list":["post-13143","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-african-wildlife","product_cat-giclees-on-paper","product_cat-limited-editions","product_cat-original-sketches","product_tag-drawing","product_tag-illustration-en","product_tag-rhinoceros-en","product_tag-wildlife-painting","pa_framing-a4-non-encadre-en","pa_framing-framed-elm-burl","pa_framing-framed-light-oak","pa_technic-limited-edition-paper","first","instock","sold-individually","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-variable"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Black Rhinoceros \u2013 African Sketch | Signed Limited Edition Print<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Black rhinoceros field sketch in graphite.
