Derek Bradbury Signed Charcoal Drawing “Sleeping Cat” – Framed Original

Original charcoal drawing by British artist Derek Bradbury, signed in the lower right. The composition captures a curled sleeping cat with soft, controlled shading and strong tonal contrast, giving the piece a calm, intimate feel typical of observational animal studies.

Presented under glass with a white mount in a solid wood frame, ready to hang. A notable feature is a partially finished nude sketch on the reverse, offering insight into the artist’s process and adding to its uniqueness as a collectible original.
The same drawing in slightly different colour variation can be seen on the artists Facebook page.
