A lively, in-the-moment portrait that catches the subject mid-gesture, hair in motion and presence in full. The composition feels spontaneous yet assured—edges soften and sharpen to guide the eye from the energy of the movement to the calm of the face. Subtle value shifts give a sense of air and light, while confident marks evoke the artist’s hand without crowding the pose. The result is an intimate, off-guard study of character and vitality.
