This little pastel is pure vintage horsepower, a hand-drawn portrait of an early racing machine from the heroic age of motorsport. Long bonnet, cigar-shaped torpedo body, fat spoked wheels and a goggled driver hunkered down for glory: it is the open-road romance of the 1920s captured in soft chalk and a whisper of French wit. The work is signed and carries a charming, half-legible inscription beneath the car, framed under glass and ready to roar onto your wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePastel on paper has a velvety immediacy that no photograph can match, and the dusty blues, ochres and warm earth tones here feel as though the artist worked trackside with the engine still ticking. It is a small, soulful piece with big character, the sort of thing a connoisseur of automobilia or vintage Grand Prix lore will spot from across the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStyling \u0026amp; Collectors Inspiration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pocket-sized racer loves the company of other framed works on paper and intimate original art.
