A three-quarter-length nude female figure built up on black paper with layered soft pastel in burnt orange, deep red, and violet, anchored by vigorous charcoal hatching in the background. Energetic white chalk marks are scratched over the entire surface, dissolving contour and deliberately obscuring the face, giving the work an intensity that sits between figuration and abstraction.
