Glance 1
$7,500.00
Glance 1 is an arresting, intimate portrait of a young girl gazing directly outward with quiet poise and gentle self-possession. Rendered through a dense network of directional cross-hatching and charcoal shading, the subject’s soft features and warm expression emanate natural innocence and intellectual curiosity. Her braided hair, styled into an elegant high ponytail, is punctuated by radiant orange-and-gold patterned beads that echo the zebra-striped orange bow tie resting at her collar. The expressive, dripping grey-and-white background creates an atmospheric, modern contrast, isolating the child's compelling gaze as a timeless symbol of youth, dignity, and future promise.
