A4 picture in a 30×40 cm white mount (Frame NOT included).
This is an intriguing piece of framed artwork, seemingly a drawing or mixed media sketch focusing on a portrait of a woman.
Subject: The central subject is the bust of a woman looking directly at the viewer. Her pose is suggestive, with one hand near her face, possibly resting her chin or brushing her lips.
Style: The style appears to be a loose, expressive sketch combined with washes of color. It has a slightly Art Deco or early 20th-century feel, primarily suggested by the woman's finger-waved or bobbed hairstyle and her dramatic makeup (dark, defined eyes and lips).
Media & Technique: The work appears to use pencil or charcoal for the primary lines and shading, and watercolor or ink washes for the blue color. The texture created by the sketching and the fluidity of the blue washes provide an appealing contrast.
Color Palette: The palette is largely monochromatic in shades of grey and black, dominated by vibrant blues. The blue is used prominently in the background, hair, shadows, eyes, and lips, giving the piece a cool, intense atmosphere.
Mood & Expression: The woman's expression is complex—she has intense, focused eyes and a slightly enigmatic or seductive gaze. The dramatic shadows and cool blue tones lend a feeling of mystery, elegance, and perhaps a touch of melancholy.
Framing: The drawing is presented in a simple, thick black frame with a wide white mat, which effectively isolates and enhances the artwork's colors and details.
The sketch evokes the glamour and intensity often associated with the 1920s or 1930s screen sirens or stylish socialites. The strong use of blue could symbolize:
Coolness or Aloofness: The dramatic, cool tone of her expression.
Water or Waves: Suggested by the loose, wave-like shapes in the background.
Intensity: Highlighting her piercing blue eyes.
Overall, it is a captivating and stylish portrait that successfully blends detailed line work with expressive color washes to create a memorable impression.
