Original Marker and Pencil Drawing of a Monstrous Face

This item is an original piece of folk or student art executed on a single sheet of white squared (grid) notebook paper. The central subject is a circular, stylized monstrous character or 'smiley' face. The artwork is composed using a heavy black permanent marker for the thick circular outline and the wide, crescent-shaped mouth, which features a row of sharp, triangular teeth created by leaving the negative space of the paper white. The eyes are almond-shaped and filled with a magenta-red colored pencil (Bleistift rote Farbe), giving the character a sinister or aggressive aesthetic. A jagged, triangular patch of black marker exists at the top center of the head, suggesting hair or a cowl. The paper shows significant signs of handling, including heavy creasing throughout the center and folding along the top edge. There are two standard hole-punch marks at the top, indicating it was previously stored in a binder. The background is composed of standard light blue or grey grid lines. The craftsmanship is expressive and contemporary, likely belonging to the late 20th or early 21st century, often categorized as 'doodle' or 'outsider art'.
