About this work

This painting features a close-up of a face, with only one eye and part of the nose visible. The subject's hair is depicted in loose, flowing strands that frame the face. The image is rendered in black and white, with bold lines and shading that add depth and texture. A notable detail in the painting is the way the artist has used contrasting values to create a sense of volume and dimensionality. The dark shadows and light highlights work together to give the impression of a three-dimensional form. The use of etching in this painting is reminiscent of the work of artist Alan Turner.
