Striking mixed media drawing by Ruth Esserman, signed and dated 1998. This intimate horizontal composition features Esserman’s distinctive linear mark-making and expressive, layered imagery rendered in black ink on heavily textured paper. The work shows architectural and figurative elements emerging through dense cross-hatching, a visual language consistent with her mature period. The artwork measures 6 × 12 inches and is mounted on 16 × 20 inch foam board, giving it strong wall presence and making it easy to frame. The piece is signed and dated on the foam board. Esserman’s work is known for its emotional intensity and graphic sophistication, making this an excellent addition for collectors of works on paper or designers seeking a compelling, monochromatic accent.
