Study for Souvenir
1997

A sketch of a person with dark, textured hair and detailed facial features looking over their shoulder. The figure is rendered with bold, expressive lines against a plain background, with the outline of a garment suggested by a few swift strokes. The artwork has an unfinished quality, with visible construction lines and blank areas on the paper.
