Artist, Welsh, born 1963

The image is a graphite drawing depicting a person standing. The person faces forward with closed eyes, detailed facial features, and long hair falling behind their shoulders. The person is unclothed, and linear markings and stitching patterns are drawn across the torso. The background is a dark, oval-shaped area with the figure positioned centrally within it, contrasting with the lighter tone of the surrounding paper.
