The figure is faceless, with a detailed texture on the suit, and a peach-colored patch near the hand. The background is a light beige, and the artwork has a white border.
A graphic artwork featuring a red heart with a drip falling from the bottom, against an off-white background. Text in a circular formation around the top right of the heart reads "RED BEGINS AT HEART." There is a signature at the bottom right corner of the image.

The background contains handwritten text and scribbles, including the words "OPIUM DEN," "DORIAN GRAY," and other illegible phrases, suggesting a literary or artistic theme. The artwork is signed at the bottom right.
Illustration of a figure from behind wearing a colorful, fringe-like garment that extends to the floor, with a multitude of vertical, rainbow-colored lines representing the fringe. The figure's head is bald, and the outline of one arm is sketched in, with a hand resting on the hip. The background is plain, and there's a signature at the bottom right corner.
