Ada Four Times
1978

Four sequential sketches of a woman's head and shoulders on a tan background, each within a separate outlined box. The woman is depicted from different angles: profile view facing left, three-quarter view facing left, frontal view, and profile view facing right. The sketches are done in a loose, expressive style with visible pencil strokes.
