This piece is accompanied by a certificate issued by Mrs. Josefa Joya-Baldovino confirming the authenticity of this lot

National Artist Jose Joya, whose name was synonymous with Philippine Abstraction was also an indefatigable draftsman. His sketchpads brimmed with drawings of places he visited, turning them into a visual armchair travelogue. His drawings were a resplendence of a multiplicity of hatchmarks, denoting contrasts in mass and volume, such as this “bahay kubo.”
