This elegant original portrait study, rendered in charcoal and white chalk on black paper, depicts a woman in profile wearing a traditional headwrap. The artist skillfully uses light and shadow to define the texture of the fabric and the contemplative expression of the subject, creating a piece with significant depth and character. Signed and dated "Davis '95" in the lower right, the artwork is professionally presented in a double mat with a gold inner border and a simple black frame. The item is in excellent condition, with the artwork appearing well-preserved behind glass and the frame showing only minimal signs of light handling. Dimensions: 63.5cm (h) x 48.5cm (w)
