Wings is a delicate yet emotionally resonant graphite drawing by Markham, completed in 2019. Measuring 9" x 12", the piece is compact in size but expansive in feeling—evoking themes of loss, ascension, and the fragile boundaries between life and death.
The central figure, rendered in fine graphite detail, appears both angelic and ghostly. With feathered wings unfurling behind, the subject seems caught in a moment of transcendence or surrender. The restrained grayscale palette enhances the piece’s ethereal quality, while Markham’s signature attention to form and anatomy grounds the image in a tangible reality.
This piece invites the viewer into a quiet space of reflection. Whether seen as a symbol of freedom, transformation, or memorial, Wings captures a timeless emotional truth with simplicity and grace.
The artwork is in new condition, hand-signed by the artist, and includes a certificate of authenticity. A contemplative and elegant addition to any collection.
