This compelling original print by contemporary American artist Mark Beard features a portrait of the legendary Pop Art pioneer Andy Warhol. The composition is rendered in a cool, atmospheric palette with strong blue tones contrasted by Warhol’s distinctive red tie, creating a striking visual focus. The portrait emphasizes Warhol’s recognizable platinum hair and glasses, presented in a contemplative style that evokes the grain and mood of early photographic portraiture.

Consistent with Beard’s exploration of historical artistic personas and cultural figures, the work captures Warhol with a sense of quiet introspection. The print reflects Beard’s broader artistic practice of revisiting influential 20th-century personalities through stylized, nostalgic imagery.

The work is a rare limited edition, hand-numbered “3/6” in the lower-left margin. The piece is titled “Andy Warhol” in the center and hand-signed by the artist “Mark Beard” with the year “91” (1991) in the lower-right. The paper also bears a blind-stamp seal from the artist’s studio, marked “Atelier Mark Beard,” indicating production through the artist’s studio atelier.
