About this work

This sketch shows a tall, shadowy figure with a big head wearing a crown of sharp shapes. The figure’s body is wrapped in a long, dark robe, and it holds a smaller crown above its head. To the right, a smaller face with a crown sits on a ledge, labeled "Mum." The background has swirly lines and tiny stick figures. The word "BEAUTY" stands out in bright orange next to the figure’s head. The artist signed it in the corner, but the drawing looks more like a quick sketch than a polished print. Next, check out etching to see how artists like this make prints.
