About this work

This drawing shows two simple, side-by-side faces in profile. The lines are clean and bold, with smooth curves for cheeks and noses. The paper is light, almost see-through, and the whole thing is held together with yellow tape at the edges. The faces look calm but a little mysterious—no eyes or mouths, just shapes. The artist signed it in pencil at the bottom, along with the year 1968. If you like this style, look up John Wesley.
