AN ORIGINAL PEN, INK & WATERCOLOR DRAWING OF A YOUNG BLACK CHILD in a Fantasy Setting SIGNED by FLOYD SOWELL. An original 16-3/4 inch high by 13-7/8 inch wide pen, ink & watercolor drawing by the African-American artist Floyd Sowell. The image portrays a young black child, standing on a large oval podium with hands in his pocket.

Four other such balls with bi-color eyes are located behind him within concentric circles radiating out from the podium. Red, green & black tunnels or holes line the rim of the raised podium.

The work is primarily drawn in black in the style of pointillism with only the creatures' eyes and tunnels emphasized by watercolor. Signed "Sowell" by the artist in pencil at right beneath the image.
