This artwork features a crayon and pencil drawing on paper, showcasing a profile of a face with a vibrant, abstract design. The face is depicted in a side view, with a brown complexion and curly hair adorned with red leaves and flowers. A large, yellow and black feather-like shape rises from the top of the head, adding to the overall sense of whimsy. The drawing is characterized by bold lines and bright colors, with a mix of geometric and organic shapes. The background of the paper is a light brown color, which provides a subtle contrast to the more vibrant hues used in the drawing.
