DescriptionYoung African American female in profile, looking down, ahead of herself, to the viewer's left. She is lost in thought, transfixed on an object or thought. Her shoulder, chest, and upper left arm are visible. Light hits her nose, ear, cheek, mouth, chin, and shoulder. Her hair is pulled back behind her head and falls on her neck. Shades of purple, blue, and green are reflected in her white shirt. Around her head and shoulders is a grey background. The movement of the pastel stroke is great, esp in the background, hair, and shirt. Paper is Canson Mi-Teintesi, vanilla. The artist's signature is on the lower right corner of the image.
