About this work
A close-up portrait of a fencer just after a bout, mask pushed up to reveal its bright orange-red lining beneath a black shell and white brim. Flushed cheeks, parted lips and a steady, tired gaze suggest recent exertion, while a low ponytail and small earring show beneath the mask above a white fencing jacket.
Pastel is worked in soft blended strokes across the skin and firmer marks for the mask's stitched leather and rivets. The palette shifts from warm ochre-brown background tones to a sudden burst of orange inside the visor, with frontal light modeling the face in creamy highlights and rose shadows for a quiet, unguarded intensity.
