Gold and Black Ink Drawing of a French Woman

About This Artwork

This A5 drawing radiates energy, focusing on the striking portrait of a woman defined by gold and deep black against crisp white paper. Her face emerges from fine liner marks and expressive cross-hatching, lending her gaze an almost frenetic quality. I've built the background with shimmering gold strokes on one side, contrasting with solid blacks on the other. There's an ink bleed along the edges of her head covering, revealing the handmade process. The gold reflects light beautifully, adding dynamic shimmer against the deep blacks. This isn't a digital print; it’s an original drawing with raw presence. I began this piece one evening, pondering the strong women depicted in early 20th-century French art. Her intriguing gaze draws you in, and this 14.8 x 21 cm portrait would serve as a compelling focal point in a study nook or entryway console. It's for collectors who appreciate expressive lines and unique portraiture that sparks thought. Invite this energy into your space.
