Pencil on paper
Signed on the front.
Beware the deceiver, a fox in sheep’s clothing preying on the naivety of the innocent. How easily betrayal can sometimes be delivered with a comforting smile.
A portrait of a young woman standing at a 3/4 angle tilting her right side away from the viewer. The drawing is in graphite pencil, with a technique of realism, although there are elements of surrealism in the portrait. The woman is holding a rabbit as though nursed in her arms, while her long flowing hair comes down over her shoulder and morphs into a fox which has bitten down into the rabbit. Apart from this act of violence from the fox, the portrait conveys a sense of happiness and calm with the woman smiling and standing in a relaxed pose, holding the rabbit in a nurturing way.
