A classical portrait of a young figure with pale skin and dark hair is interrupted by bold horizontal bands of color slashing across the composition in yellow, blue, gray, flesh tone, and red. The layered strokes obscure the subject's features while the dark background and Renaissance-style clothing anchor the image in art historical tradition, creating a tension between reverence and disruption. 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.
