Woman with a Wide Smile

Woman with a Wide Smile

Graphite and white pencil on paper, 2025

15 × 11 inches

A frontal portrait of a woman defined by an expansive, highly articulated smile. The composition is direct and symmetrical, bringing the viewer into close proximity with her gaze and expression. The clarity of her features contrasts with the intensity of the smile, creating a subtle tension between familiarity and unease.

Rendered in graphite and white pencil, the drawing builds form through layered tonal transitions and heightened highlights. The addition of white pencil introduces a luminous surface quality, allowing light to emerge from within the darker ground. The background remains subdued, focusing attention on the face and its presence.
