The asymmetrical eyes and expressive linework give the face a mischievous, animated character, while the glossy glaze amplifies the clarity of colour and the confident, hand-drawn quality of the design. The composition feels both spontaneous and carefully balanced, with a lighthearted nod to Cubist and mid-century graphic influences. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThis plate is part of a larger hand-painted series, though each piece is entirely unique in colour and expression.
