About this work
A young man wearing a peaked military-style cap is shown frontally with eyes shut and brow tightly furrowed, his mouth set in a tense, downturned line as if bracing for bad news. His head is surrounded by a dense tangle of looping black scribbles, and beneath the portrait a handwritten Russian line reads, in translation, 'please, let this not be true.'
The face is modeled in soft sepia and grey tones against a mottled beige ground, while the chaotic pencil scrawl around it is drawn in sharp black lines that contrast with the gentle shading of the skin. The combination of the anguished expression, agitated scribbles and pleading handwritten text gives the piece a raw, dramatic tension.
