About this work
A woman's head and shoulders are shown in strict profile, turned slightly toward the viewer, with long hair falling past her shoulder and one eye catching a sliver of light. The surrounding space is almost entirely swallowed by darkness, leaving only the illuminated edge of her face, nose, lips and a few strands of hair visible.
Rendered in dense black lithographic crayon with fine, directional hatching, the print builds form purely through contrasts of near-black and bright highlight, with almost no mid-tones. The tight framing and near-total darkness give the portrait a hushed, introspective intensity, the single lit sliver of face holding the viewer's attention.
