This Conte a Paris Sanguine XVIII Pencil has a darker brown than
the "Sanguine" pencil but has the same red oxide. It has similar
properties to the other "Sanguine" pencils in that with a
sharpened lead the drawing is accurate, the colour is transparent
and if the work is lightly drawn, the pencil lets the texture of
the paper appear. With a half-worn lead, the opacity increases
with the pressure exerted on the pencil. Length of the pencil is
176.5 mm, diameter of the pencil is 8.5 mm and the diameter of
the lead is 5 mm.
