The moment before the result
Photorealistic sketches in graphite show how closely hand and eye work together, even before a picture is finished. You can buy photorealistic graphite sketches for sale here if you want to see the working itself.
On such sheets one part is worked out, say an eye, a hand or a leaf, while the rest stays as a scaffold of fine lines. That shows how the drawing grows and offers an insight finished pictures rarely give.

Made for looking
A sketch of this kind deserves a place you pass often. Hang it near the seating area or on a hallway wall, bright but not in full sun. A mat with a large window gives the white space meaning.
Reading the fine print
Ask about the condition of the edges and any notes on the sheet. Whether the sheet has been fixed also matters, since fixative can slightly change the delicate transitions.
