This pencil drawing on paper presents a surreal scene, featuring a woman with an elongated neck and a hand emerging from her body, holding a mirror. Her face is tilted upwards, while her hair flows down, and she wears a bracelet on her arm. The hand, with fingers splayed, grasps the mirror, reflecting an eye. In the foreground, a hand with fingers curled inwards rests on a cloth, surrounded by grass and flowers. The drawing's intricate details and abstract forms create a dreamlike atmosphere, inviting the viewer to explore its symbolism and meaning. The use of pencil on paper adds a sense of delicacy and fragility to the work. To learn more about the techniques used in this drawing, explore the art of cross-hatching.
