This work combines realistic drawing and abstract elements. It shows a person with a lowered head, whose face is partially covered by hair falling over the face. The skin and hair are richly detailed and drawn in monochrome with charcoal. In contrast, a vertical stripe in bright yellow adds an abstract, modern accent. This area contains geometric line patterns that look like stylised stars or zigzag patterns. The background is subtly textured and in shades of grey, making the yellow colour and the figure stand out strongly.
The combination of realistic depiction with abstract elements gives the work depth and a high-contrast aesthetic.
