Raised Arm, Pink Sky

A circular portrait presents a dark-skinned figure in a pointed hat, their elongated arm sweeping upward across the right side of the composition. The face is built from dense, gestural strokes in russet, brown, and violet, while the surrounding pink ground is animated by splatters, loose marks, floral traces, and fragmentary handwritten text. The direct gaze and diagonal gesture give the work a charged, theatrical presence, balanced by the playful irregularity of its decorative surface.
