Framed 'Warrior Woman' Drawing by Eris Newson

This item is a framed drawing titled 'Warrior Woman' created by Eris Newson. The artwork depicts a female figure viewed from the back, with long, dark hair flowing over her shoulders. She is wearing a flowing, off-the-shoulder red garment, possibly a kimono or robe, which drapes around her form, exposing her upper back. Her right arm is raised, holding what appears to be the hilt of a katana or similar sword that extends horizontally across the composition. The drawing uses a combination of graphite or charcoal for the figure's hair and outlines, and red colored pencil or marker for the garment, giving it a vibrant contrast against the white paper. The background of the artwork itself is stark white, allowing the figure to stand out prominently. The artwork is housed within a black wooden frame with a subtle beaded or dotted gold/silver inner edge detailing. A light beige or cream-colored mat surrounds the drawing, providing a visual separation between the artwork and the frame. The overall presentation is clean and contemporary. No significant visible condition issues such as tears, stains, or fading are apparent on the artwork or mat. The frame appears to be in good condition with no obvious chips or damage. Based on the style, it appears to be a modern piece, likely created in the 21st century. The artist's signature 'Eris N.' is faintly visible in the bottom right corner of the drawing.
