Theodore Roszak

Portrait (the artist's wife)
1951

A detailed sketch of a fantastical character with sharp, angular features, wearing an elaborate costume with spiky elements and layered textures. The character has a dramatic, pointed headpiece and a mask-like face with prominent eyes. The drawing style is expressive, with dynamic lines and shading that give a sense of movement and depth.
