A classical portrait of Marcus Aurelius rendered in intricate black ink stippling and line work shows the Roman emperor in profile, his bearded face and curled hair captured with meticulous detail against a white ground. The composition conveys gravitas and contemplation through its monochromatic palette and the precise, deliberate marks that define each plane of his face and neck. Crafted from durable canvas-like poly-poplin and made to order, double-stitched with a cotton webbing strap. The everyday haul, from groceries to the beach, carrying an independent artist's work.
