Created in a minimalist yet expressive style, the artist employs fine, deliberate ink lines to render two mirrored faces of an elderly man. Each face, nearly identical yet subtly distinct, is composed with a soft, introspective gaze and flowing beard, evoking a sense of wisdom, passage of time, or perhaps duality of the self. The drawing leans toward a classical study with modern sensibilities. The sparse line work reveals the structure and emotion of the subject without excess, allowing negative space to carry equal visual weight. The figures emerge from a soft cream background, their presence both strong and ethereal. The monochrome black ink contrasts gently with the ivory-toned paper, giving the work a serene and timeless quality.
The artwork is housed in a rectangular frame with a gently antiqued gold finish, bordered inside with white matting and a slim inner gold line that echoes the drawing’s understated elegance. It is signed in the lower right corner by the artist.
