This portrait features a distinguished, 18th- or 19th-century-style man drawn in fine pencil, set against a bold, modern background made of blue toned color blocks. His carefully groomed beard, formal clothing, and stern profile evoke a historical figure, while the abstract background suggests a more contemporary world. The contrast between the detailed realism of the man and the geometric, modernist setting creates a striking tension between past and present.

Though untiled by the artist, this work dated 2003, is informally referred to as 18th Century Man Pencil for archival reference. Limited editioned archival prints to be released soon.
