The Image
Side-profile portrait of Eça de Queiroz, formed entirely from curved black lines on a warm cream background. Bold, graphic, recognisable.
The profile is drawn but not outlined. Every curve in the hair and beard adds up to a face, then pulls back into pattern. Reading shifts at reading distance.
Part of her and the poets, a tribute series to Portuguese literary figures. Eça sits beside pessoa in the set, the Realist next to the Modernist.

Color palette
Two colours doing all the work: warm cream ground and near-black ink. The mid-tones are only the density of the linework, not added pigment.
