Brunhilde and Wotan
2010

A sketch of two figures, possibly characters from Norse mythology, with the male figure wearing a winged helmet and the female figure in a dynamic pose. The lines are loose and expressive, suggesting movement or a moment captured in time. The artist's signature and the names "BRÜNNHILDE - WOTAN" are written at the bottom, indicating the subjects of the drawing.
