About this work

This drawing shows a round window divided into four sections. The top half has two curved shapes with a light tan color, like petals or arches. The bottom half looks like a city street map with tiny buildings and roads. In the center, there’s a small portrait of a bearded man wearing a hat. The tiny portrait is tucked inside a circle, almost like a puzzle piece. The rest of the drawing mixes simple shapes with detailed lines, making it look both clean and busy at the same time. If you like this mix of patterns and portraits, check out cross-hatching next.
