This drawing shows a face in profile, wearing a tall, pointy hat. The face is simple—flat shapes for the nose, mouth, and eyes—with sharp lines. Behind it, there’s a faint sign with letters like "AVI" and "WO," but it’s blurry. The artist used clean, bold lines to make the face look almost like a mask. The hat and the way the face tilts give it a strange, quiet energy. Want to see more by this artist? Check out Yasuo Kuniyoshi.
