Framed Abstract Mixed Media Portrait with Botanical Elements

This artwork is a large mixed media piece, likely combining graphite pencil for the portraiture with watercolor or gouache for the vibrant background and botanical elements. The composition features a central, realistically rendered graphite portrait of a person peering out from a stylized hood or shroud with a rainbow gradient. A large green leaf rests atop the head, while a similar leaf occupies the lower right foreground. The background is a geometric grid of squares, circles, and triangles filled with various colorful washes. The piece is professionally housed in a dark, polished wood frame with a wide grey-toned mat that provides deep margins. The use of high-contrast black outlining suggests a contemporary or modern illustrative style. While the paper appears to be in excellent condition with no visible foxing or tearing, there is a small white oval sticker or marking on the upper leaf, which may be an authentication mark, inventory sticker, or artist's signature. The craftsmanship shows a high level of technical skill in blending realistic portraiture with surrealist botanical and geometric motifs. Based on the style and presentation, this is likely a late 20th-century or 21st-century original work of art.
