About this work

You see a drawing of a woman's face with strong features and large eyes. This work is interesting because it's part of a series of drawings about masks. The artist was inspired by old pottery and created faces with intense colors and details. The faces look frightening or in a trance. Check out the technique of cross-hatching to learn more about how the artist created these intense drawings.
