Donald Friend (1915-1989) large original mixed media, watercolour painting on paper on board titled 'Boy with Deers', signed lower left. Circa 1972. Very much in keeping with Friend's Bali series. This unique piece in black and sepia tones is in very good condition and in its original 1970's gold wood frame with gold inlay and cloth trim. Label verso from Barry Stern Gallery in Paddington at $7,500. The artwork in in excellent condition with minor wear to the frame commensurate with age. As an investment piece this is quite extraordinary in terms of its topic and style. Judging by recent auction sales, this will be very highly sought after.

Bio

Donald Friend, who is often referred to as “the great wine of Australian Art”, was born in Sydney on 6th February 1915. He studied with Dattilo Rubbo at the Royal Art Society of New South Wales in 1934 and under Bernard Meninsky and Mark Gertler at the Westminster School of Art, London. He spent much of his life outside Australia including periods in Ceylon (1957-61) and Bali (1966-80). He had power and sensitivity as a draughtsman, with an ability to delineate forms in an almost calligraphic line, mixed with feeling for colour and design. He died in Sydney on 16 August 1989, aged 74.
