Religious portraits are a steady part of the studio’s work, and this one shows the black and grey approach at its softest: long, smooth gradients through the veil, the light kept on the face, and the watch drawn crisp so it anchors the bottom of the piece. The smoke behind the figure is there to give the composition an edge that fades into the skin rather than a hard border.
Placed on the outer upper arm, sized so the features have room to be drawn properly and will still be clear years from now.
