Offered here from the dougfinds collection of curated fashion, accessories, clothing, collectibles, and unique gifts is this original portrait drawing by American artist K.W. Moore Sr. dates to 1986 and represents an early example of the artist’s figurative work prior to his broader recognition as a Western painter.

Moore is a listed American artist whose works have appeared in galleries and at auction. While his later career is associated primarily with Western subject matter, original portrait drawings from his early period are notably scarce and reveal the technical discipline and psychological sensitivity that underpin his mature style.

Executed in graphite and charcoal on paper, the composition demonstrates confident line work, tonal modeling, and a nuanced treatment of character. The subject’s expression and posture suggest an observational study rather than a decorative illustration, aligning the work with Moore’s academic and realist foundations.

The drawing is signed and dated by the artist and has been preserved in a period frame. Works on paper from this phase of Moore’s career are seldom encountered on the secondary market, making this an appealing acquisition for collectors of Western art, American realism, and original figurative drawings.
