A black and white graphite portrait focuses attention on your pet's character and expression. Delicate pencil details highlight textures of you pet's fur or feathers, wet nose, velvety muzzle, or silky ears. Graphite (commonly, but mistakenly, known as "lead") on heavyweight 100% cotton paper is completely acid-free and archival. Properly matted and framed portraits will last for generations.
