Mixed Media Landscape Drawing by Kathleen Ney

Details Details Close Description The identity of the artist who created this excellent charcoal study remains unknown. The model’s outfit and the arrangement of her hair suggest a bygone era, possibly a study for a dressed figure drawing. However, within the intimate confines of the visage, everything is expressed: the shape of her lips and the woman’s gaze, which serves as the focal point, an arresting portal into her inner world. The realism captured in the composition and the deliberate avoidance of symmetry in her gaze amplifies the model’s unsettling aura. Her eyes act as mirrors that seem to question our souls. There is a palpable anxiety, a shadow dancing beneath her face. Her slightly downward gaze and closed lips imbue the portrait with profound introspection and disturbing feeling. What lies behind those enigmatic eyes? Is it a melancholy burdened by untold stories, a silent lament that persists? Or is it a secret that becomes increasingly difficult to keep? These questions remain unanswered, inviting us to explore the timeless aspects of human existence and unravel the mysteries of its identity. Thanks to the profound depth captured in this charcoal portrait, an immersive journey awaits. less DIMENSIONS 22.13ʺW × 0.5ʺD × 26.13ʺH STYLES Expressionism ART SUBJECTS Portrait FRAME TYPE Framed PERIOD 1960s COUNTRY OF ORIGIN United States ITEM TYPE Vintage, Antique or Pre-owned MATERIALS Charcoal CONDITION Good Condition, Original Condition Unaltered, Some Imperfections COLOR Charcoal TEAR SHEET CONDITION NOTES Excellent New framing.
