Color and charcoal in conversation
Black charcoal next to color: you rarely see that, and it sticks. Color charcoal photographs from 1,000 to 2,000 euro are for sale for anyone who appreciates the contrast between drawing and color tone.
Where color photography is drawn over with charcoal by hand, it gains contours, shadows and depth. The black of the charcoal makes the colors beside it glow stronger, the way a frame lifts a painting.

A picture with hand and light
Hang a sheet like this on a calm wall with even light, not in sun. Charcoal and color react differently to UV. With UV-protective glass and a mat, the sheet stays stable for years.
Checking carefully
Ask about the fixation of the charcoal, about paper and about the lightfastness of the color parts. Signature, number and notes on whether the sheet is one of a kind should be in the description too. If you want to see both, ask for photos in daylight and in artificial light: the black of the charcoal changes more than the color of the photograph does.
