This fairy-tale artwork, a line drawing in charcoal, captures the fragile and youthful essence of a Balkan girl. Her delicate features are rendered with light, black lines, with the simplicity of the sketch emphasising her innocence and softness. She wears a scarf around her head, traditionally knotted, whose flowing lines frame her face and subtly reflect her origins. The scarf is rendered with minimal detail, with the slight movement of the fabric suggested by a few gentle strokes, enhancing the sense of simplicity and fragility.
Around her neck, she wears a small, charming bow tie, carefully drawn with finer lines, which further emphasises her look of innocence and youthfulness. The little bow seems almost playful and is a nice contrast to the calm, subdued expression of her face.
The girl's expression is soft and dreamy, with a hint of curiosity, as if she is observing the world around her with a fresh and innocent gaze. Despite the fragility of the lines, the work has a powerful look. The minimalist style leaves plenty of room for interpretation and emphasises the purity and vibrancy of her youth, while at the same time the work evokes a timeless sense of tenderness and simplicity.
