How real is real?
Photorealistic drawing is patience in grayscale: pores, reflections and fabric textures arise from countless layers laid over one another. Photorealistic drawings for sale from 500 to 1,000 euro suit those who value precision.

Near and far
Such works operate at two distances: as an image from afar, as craft up close. Do not hang them too high, so viewers can step in close. Non-reflective glass keeps glare from disturbing the delicate tonal scale.
Sketch or finished drawing?
Ask whether the sheet is a fully worked drawing and what the paper is like, since smooth surfaces release fine detail. A sketch can also be realistic, but it is a different kind of sheet.
