A self-portrait created in warm brown Conté, this piece explores form and expression through line, texture, and carefully built layers of light and shadow. The limited palette gives the portrait an intimate, almost timeless quality, while the close composition keeps the focus on the face and direct gaze. Created as both an exercise in observation and a study of self, it captures a particular moment in time through the wonderfully imperfect lens of the artist looking back at herself.
