A classical portrait of an 18th-century woman in a pale gown and powdered hair is interrupted by bold horizontal strokes in yellow, pink, and white that obscure her face and torso. The composition merges old master painting with contemporary intervention, creating visual tension between reverence and destruction against a dark, muted background. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
