<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KylieS, post: 9492363, member: 22292&quot;]Just on the OP, she looks like she has been done from a photo by the (not professional) artist. I think Asian descent also for the subject, just the shading has been a bit heavy handed making her complexion appear darker than it would have been. I think an image of a refugee, but not necessarily one arriving in the UK, maybe from a press photo.</p><p><br /></p><p>In terms of artistic quality, it&#039;s expressive for sure - my feel is that it might be a 60s student work. Regarding quality, the face is not very well rendered IMO - it&#039;s overworked, with the mouth not quite in the right place and the shading is too far forward on the shadow side which gives her a slightly &#039;squished&#039; appearance. </p><p><br /></p><p>However, it&#039;s a nice idea - to play up the prettiness of the outfit, to imagine her in her full personhood and gift her a little beauty for her life. It&#039;s very emotive, I can see why you like it![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
