Description
-
A close-up self-portrait reduced to simplified, fluorescent red outlines of the artist's facial features superimposed over a dark backdrop formed by black and translucent red pseudo-calligraphic forms inscribed over a dilute ink wash, creating a palimpsestic effect. The portrait is delineated in an ideographic style reminiscent of oracle bone script, with columns of calligraphic strokes framing the artist's face along the left and right edges of the composition.

Condition
-
In good condition. Foxing. Crease at the bottom right corner. Very slight creases at the other corners. Brush hair stuck to the work. Medium rubs off upon contact. Mild craquelure. Minor traces of mould or bits of paper stuck to the work. Stains on the reverse due to the medium used seeping through the paper.
