About this work

This drawing shows a young boy’s face in charcoal. The artist uses sharp lines and soft smudges to shape his features. Light and shadow play on the boy’s skin and hair. The artist was 22 when he made this. It feels personal, like a private moment caught on paper. The rough texture of the charcoal adds depth to the face. The Museum of Ethnography holds this piece.
