Inscribed on verso label: Ziziros Street; ink drawing bought 2nd of march 1994 from the auction of the Vahan Utudjian collection. Pavlos Neophytou told me that he had given this drawing to Utudjian in exchange for two ceramic plates. Pavlos had originally aquired the drawing from the collection of Captain Hubbart (ex military) who sold his belongings in Cyprus
Description:
The artist’s works are of a historical value as they portray Cyprus of the early twentieth century from a Greek Cypriot point of view. This pen and ink drawing depicts a picturesque village lane probably in the Tembria valley. The stonework, the pitched roofs, the wooden balconies and the uphill cobbled path, all allude to villages like Kakopetria or Evryhou. Chicken roam loose amongst the houses, typical of then and now.
