Circa 2001--2003
Pastel drawing on dark brown paper
25 ½" x 19 ¾"
Signed in pencil on lower right.
This pastel drawing was based on a remarkable photograph that haunted me for some time until I made my own drawing based on the photo. My rendition makes the sitter’s face more than life size. The original photograph was taken by Steve McCurry, who took this photo for National Geographic Magazine after the US invasion of Afghanistan in 2001. Permission was granted for me to post my drawing by Steve McCurry Studios in an email I received on 3/18/2024.
