About this work

This sketch shows a woman’s face and shoulders in loose, quick lines. Her hair falls past her ears, and she’s looking off to the side with a slight smile. The paper is filled with scribbled text around her, like gossip or captions. The drawing is made with crayon on paper, giving it a rough, sketchy feel. The artist left in notes and rumors about the woman, mixing the portrait with personal commentary. Next, look up Karen Kilimnik to see more of her work.
