Collage Pastel #3
1976

An artwork depicting a figure with a head obscured by a geometric, mask-like structure made of brown and tan shapes with stitching details. The figure has broad shoulders and is set against a dark grey background with a rust-colored halo-like circle behind the head. The style is reminiscent of a collage with a textured, tactile appearance.
