Study for Greek Head V is a 1993 by David Reekie, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a side view of a head wearing a strange, crown-like hat with round shapes on top. The face has a wide mouth, open as if shouting, and a strong jawline. The drawing is loose and quick, with shading that gives it a rough, sketchy feel. The crown looks like it could be a mix of ancient armor and a modern invention—maybe a nod to old myths. The artist focused on the shape and expression more than details. If you like this style, check out more works by David Reekie.
